Why people recommend it

Antisocial by Andrew Marantz is a non-fiction book that explores online extremists, techno-utopians, and how digital platforms have hijacked the American conversation. John Williams discussed the work on The Book Review, describing it as a personal favorite runner-up and noting that it speaks to the current cultural climate in a uniquely compelling way, despite being a difficult subject to approach. On the same podcast, Jennifer Szalai discussed the book by highlighting the author's role as a New Yorker staff writer who began reporting on members of the alt-right well before the 2016 presidential election. Pamela Paul also hosted Andrew Marantz on The Book Review to discuss his exploration of internet trolls and modern political discourse. Additionally, Bret Easton Ellis mentioned on The Rubin Report that he was reading the book, characterizing it as a fascinating and somewhat hellish descent into internet culture and alt-right movements that originated with events like the DeploraBall in Washington.
