The War Against Reality: The Everyday Use and Abuse of Persuasion

Book Description

This book is a well-worn volume with numerous underlined passages and margin notes that seem to connect the text to real-world events, suggesting the reader is actively applying its principles. The pages are filled with analytical diagrams and examples of persuasive language.

Synopsis

This text delves into the disturbing methods employed to manipulate public perception and distort reality. It explores the use of propaganda, misinformation, and psychological tactics to control narratives, influence opinions, and erode trust in objective truth. The author examines the consequences of such manipulation on individuals and society as a whole.

Clues

A newspaper clipping is loosely inserted, the headline reading “Unexplained Disappearance of Finn Tibbers, the First Old Haven Disappearance in Centuries.” A small, almost illegible scrawl at the bottom of the clipping reads, “Crowe’s hand?”
