The echo machine : how right-wing extremism created a post-truth America / David Pakman.
In The Echo Machine, David Pakman offers a sharp, progressive political analysis of the current state of U.S. politics, particularly focusing on how right-wing disinformation and political polarization have spiraled out of control. He explores the decline of critical thinking and media literacy, which has led to a fractured political landscape. Through real-world examples and pragmatic insights, Pakman explains how the political system has become a toxic echo chamber and argues that leftism offers a better path forward for addressing key societal issues. His accessible, well-researched work encourages readers to think critically, embrace media literacy, and engage in productive discourse to repair the broken system and safeguard democracy.
