Philip N. Howard is director of the Oxford Internet Institute and the author of nine books, including Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up, which was praised in the Financial Times as “timely and important.” He is a frequent commentator on the impact of technology on political life, contributing to the New York Times, Financial Times, and other media outlets.
"Could not be more timely and important; and its central
premise--that this new stage in the evolution of the web has
political implications that will match or even outstrip its
commercial ones--is both striking and convincing."--Felix Martin,
Financial Times, praise for Pax Technica: How the Internet of
Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up "Lie Machines is an important
account of the corruption of online information flows, offering up
a bounty of lively, action-oriented reflections on the
vulnerabilities inherent in today's digital communications
architecture."--Jonathan Zittrain, George Bemis Professor of
International Law and Professor of Computer Science, Harvard
University
"Lie Machines presents Howard's cutting-edge research on
disinformation and computational propaganda in a vivid, compelling
manner. The book is a tour de force analysis of grave threats to
democracy, and how to defuse them."-- Frank Pasquale, author of The
Black Box Society
"Lie Machines takes on one of the great challenges of the digital
age. Refusing to wallow in the dystopia of it all, Howard produces
a must-read for the moment and a blueprint for the future."--David
Kaye, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression "A
compelling read. Howard relates a complex subject in simple and
convincing terms, producing a prescient and socially significant
work."--Zizi Papacharissi, author of A Private Sphere: Democracy in
a Digital Age
