Juggernaut has caught my attention for a while and I'm glad I finally get to read their books. I'm happy that this book is a quick read. The topic is as timely as it can be. I'm aware of some of the things reported in this book but I don't have a bigger picture. And it helps when it's not an entirely one-sided story. I appreciate how the writer interviewed the paid trolls and the people behind the grand scheme. I‘ll definitely pass this book on to inform more people. As someone who's not from India, I can say that now we can clearly see that it's not just India's problem. This book has relevance outside the country. I'm glad it's in a book form because it makes things more complete. It's not the most comprehensive investigative journalism but it's very courageous for the writer and the people who came out to support her claims and findings in the current political climate.
