About this listen

 Uncover everything you need to know about "deepfakes" and what could become the biggest information and communications meltdown in world history.

In a world of deepfakes, it will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what isn't. As advances in artificial intelligence, video creation, and online trolling continue, deepfakes pose not only a real threat to democracy -- they threaten to take voter manipulation to unprecedented new heights. This crisis of misinformation which we now face has since been dubbed the "Infocalypse."

In DEEPFAKES, investigative journalist Nina Schick uses her expertise from working in the field to reveal shocking examples of deepfakery and explain the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. This all-too-timely book also unveils what this all means for us as individuals, how deepfakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and just how truly unprepared governments and tech companies are for what's coming.

Most relevant
Not just for those interested in news media, social-psychology, and geo-politics; this book is a must read for anyone who uses a voice-print as a means of identity verification for their financial or government services; for anyone who wants to understand why their friend has succumbed to conspiracy theory thinking; anyone who wants to know the biggest threat in the horizon to social cohesion and how wars of the future will be fought (and are currently being fought)

Absolute must-read
