Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America by Christopher Wylie
5.0
5 out of freaking 5
Mindf*ck contains everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask about Cambridge Analytica. With a great, entertaining and even funny/sarcastic at times (despite the dreadful subject) writing, Christopher Wylie explains how everything actually started, the players involved and how it developed throughout time.
The information C. Wylie provides as a whistleblower is quite worrying to say the least, providing several examples of how manipulation of the masses were designed and deployed. I've read some reviews where it's stated that C. Wylie is very apologetic with himself but I disagree since he actually starts accepting his share of guilt.
When it comes to the book itself, I'd say it's pretty well written. C. Wylie explains in great detail the inner workings of different agencies whose ultimate goal is psychological warfare; despite the number of people/agencies/corporations involved, Wylie makes a great work sorting all the events in order for the reader to keep up.
In short, Mindf*ck is a book you must read.
