Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media ManipulatorThe cult classic that predicted the rise of fake news revised and updated for the post Trump, post Gawker age.

The cult classic that predicted the rise of fake news--revised and updated for the post-Trump, post-Gawker age. Hailed as "astonishing and disturbing" by the Financial Times and "essential reading" by TechCrunch at its original publication, former American Apparel marketing director Ryan Holiday's first book sounded a prescient alarm about the dangers of fake news. It's all the more relevant today. Trust Me, I'm Lying was the first book to blow the lid off the speed and force at which rumors travel online--and get "traded up" the media ecosystem until they become real headlines and generate real responses in the real world. The culprit? Marketers and professional media manipulators, encouraged by the toxic economics of the news business. Whenever you see a malicious online rumor costs a company millions, politically motivated fake news driving elections, a product or celebrity zooming from total obscurity to viral sensation, or anonymously sourced articles becoming national conversation, someone is behind it. Often someone like Ryan Holiday. As he explains, "I wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I'm tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, opinion masquerades as fact, algorithms drive everything to extremes, and no one is accountable for any of it. I'm pulling back the curtain because it's time the public understands how things really work. What you choose to do with this information is up to you."Shipping Notes

Interesting
Format: Kindle
The book was good. I was inspired by my student who did a project on this book. I was very impressed with her project that I had to read more about The Salem Witch Trails. I’m impressed to say the less and this book for anyone who like books based on true events and it definitely kept me interested because I finish this book within a day. I recommend this book to anyone.

Correct research and good writing
Format: Kindle
I Escaped the Salem Witch Trials is a gripping recreation of what happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. It is told from the point of view of one girl who wasn’t swept up in the hysteria that gripped so many of her companions. The characters are believable and skillfully drawn and the reader understands the fear that must have clutched the inhabitants of the small town of Salem. The narrative loses a little steam when it comes to the escape from the Boston gaol, but that doesn’t detract from the historically accurate depiction of these infamous trials.
The details have been well researched, and the book’s production values are excellent. I would recommend this to any school children who want to gain some insight into how the witch trials came about, or any parents who want to learn a little about the dark side of our puritan ancestors.

Loved it!! It makes history come alive!!
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my niece who has enjoyed all of the I Escaped books. I read it too and I can say that this one really makes history come alive! The Salem witch hunt is a disturbing and scary topic but I like how the author makes it relevant to today. The main character Hannah has to stand up to the bullies in a sort of mean girl clique and she is a really strong female protagonist! There’s a lot of interesting facts about the Puritans and about the people involved in the Witch trials too. I highly recommend! Loved it!!

Perfect summer read for children and adults.
Format: Paperback
My daughter recommended this book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and it made me feel grateful that I was not born during this era in history. I felt apprehension, anger and sadness, for the characters in the book, who were wrongfully accused and punished for something they weren't guilty of: consorting with the Devil.
