Seve Bloomfield of The Guardian described the work as "Part memoir, part investigation, part cry for help".[1]
The work discusses digital propaganda and how it affects viewer's senses of normality. He observed how the manipulation of reality characterizing Russian politics was used in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and in the Brexit referendum. The book includes a discussion on Rodrigo Duterte.[2] The end of the book gives suggestions on how to build journalistic and online practices to solidify a focus on facts.[3]
