Category - Political Science Product Description - In Stories Are Weapons, best-selling author Annalee Newitz traces the way disinformation, propaganda and violent threatsthe essential tool kit for psychological warfarehave evolved from military weapons deployed against foreign adversaries into tools in domestic culture wars. Newitz delves into Americas deep-rooted history with psychological operations, beginning with Benjamin Franklins Revolutionary Warera fake newspaper and reaching its apotheosis with misinformation during twenty-first-century elections. The nations secret weapon has long been coercive storytelling, fashioned by operatives who drew on their experiences in the ad industry and as science fiction writers. Now, through a weapons-transfer programme long unacknowledged, it has found its way into the hands of culture warriors, in conflicts from school board fights over LGBT students to campaigns against feminist viewpoints. Stories Are Weapons delivers a powerful counter-narrative, as Newitz highlights the process of psychological disarmament, speaking with Indigenous archivists preserving their histories in new ways, activist storytellers and technology experts transforming social media.
