‘During the pandemic, governments worldwide deployed sophisticated behavioral and psychological techniques. Now that Pandora’s Box has been opened, powerful entities will undoubtedly continue to use these tools to manipulate unwary populations. The best way to be immune to these techniques is to understand when they are being deployed; if you recognize it, you can do something about it. Dodsworth and Fagan provide a compendium of manipulation in the modern world. Their book is a primer on how to survive in an age of ubiquitous propaganda – and it’s great fun to read.’ Professor Jay Bhattacharya
