Book launch: Read about how the web manipulates us
by Nate Levesque
Howdy FOSS Family!
I have another book out that looks at some darker aspects of the web and
how they manipulate us—Deepfakes, habit-forming features, interest
targeting, and more. They're topics that are especially relevant now, as
we're paying more attention to how the Internet affects our thinking while
we look towards the next U.S. elections.
If those are topics that interest you, you can get more details about the
book (e-book available in most online stores, and paperback from Amazon) at
https://book.thenaterhood.com/books/the-thought-trap. It's DRM-free (where
possible) and under a Creative Commons license.
If you're not so interested in the book but those are things that interest
you, there are some good resources from the ACLU, EFF, and ProPublica. If
you want to do some of your own reading, I'm happy to share my sources to
get you started too.
