WeRe Often Told That Disinformation Is Everywhere And That ItS Endangering Our Democracy. But What If The War On Disinformation Itself Is Really Just A Weapon To Squash Any And All Legitimate Dissent?The Information State Is An Incisive Examination Of How We Reached The Point Where Anything That Contradicts The Dominant Narrative Can Be Labeled Dangerous Disinformation. Tablet Contributor Jacob Siegel Charts How The Technological Infrastructure Built To Make Society Safer And More Rational Has Steadily Replaced Democratic Freedoms With Systems Of Digital Control. Commercial Internet Applications Now Double As MilitaryGrade Surveillance And Influence Tools. Government Tech Partnerships Established After 2001 In Response To The Global War On Terror Took On A Life Of Their Own And Now Target Americans.Instead Of Competing For Voters Support, The Information State Uses Censorship, Mass Surveillance, And Algorithmic Manipulation To Shape Public Perceptions As It Tries To Engineer Reality. Government Officials Requested That Social Media Companies Boost Stories About Donald TrumpS Alleged Connections To Russia, While Censoring Those About Hunter BidenS Laptops, The Origins Of The Covid19 Virus, And The War In Ukraine.An Alliance Between Government And Tech Companies Formed To Wage The War On Terror Has Evolved Into An Unholy New Kind Of Technocratic State And Turned Against AmericaS Own Citizens. Laws Signed By President Obama As He Left Office Fused Together The Media, Ngos, The National Security Complex, And Big Tech Companies Into An Unelected Ruling Party. In Short, The Information War Came Home And Completely Overtook American Politics During The Hyperpolarization Of The Trump Era And The Isolation Of The Covid19 Pandemic. The Information State Is An Urgent, Necessary Book That Sounds The Alarm On Where Society Is Headed In The Age Of Ai If We DonT Relearn How To Think For Ourselves And Ask Searching Questions About Whether Information Can Ever Be A Substitute For Truth.
