{"product_id":"the-reality-game-samuel-woolley-9781541768253","title":"The Reality Game: How the Next Wave of Technology Will Break the Truth","description":"\u003cb\u003eFake news posts and Twitter trolls were just the beginning. What will happen when misinformation moves from our social media feeds into our everyday lives?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnline disinformation stormed our political process in 2016 and has only worsened since. Yet as Samuel Woolley shows in this urgent book, it may pale in comparison to what's to come: humanlike automated voice systems, machine learning, \"deepfake\" AI-edited videos and images, interactive memes, virtual reality, and more. These technologies have the power not just to manipulate our politics, but to make us doubt our eyes and ears and even feelings.\u003cbr\u003eDeeply researched and compellingly written, \u003ci\u003eThe Reality Game\u003c\/i\u003e describes the profound impact these technologies will have on our lives. Each new invention built without regard for its consequences edges us further into this digital dystopia.\u003cbr\u003eYet Woolley does not despair. Instead, he argues pointedly for a new culture of innovation, one built around accountability and especially transparency. With social media dragging us into a never-ending culture war, we must learn to stop fighting and instead prevent future manipulation. This book shows how we can use our new tools not to control people but to empower them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Woolley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541768256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541768253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2019","brand":"Samuel Woolley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044128715007,"sku":"9781541768253","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20a3777d-f2c9-4a34-84bd-d8254d36a86f.jpg?v=1684971103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reality-game-samuel-woolley-9781541768253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
