As the Internet Age endures and expands, Peter K. Fallon peers into the Pandora's Box of our age. A twenty-first century update to Jacques Ellul's masterful sociological study Propaganda, Propaganda 2. 1 explores how the 'digital revolution' has transformed the boundaries between individuals, institutions, and centres of power. Coupling historical analysis with a wealth of current examples, Fallon exposes the intricate and insidious ways propaganda alters our daily realities. Propaganda 2. 1 is divided into three sections: propaganda 1. 0, 2. 0, and 2. 1. Propaganda 1. 0 compares the popular conception of propaganda with persuasive techniques such as rhetoric and coercion; 2. 0 reveals how the development of moveable-type printing built the foundations of modern propaganda; and, finally, 2. 1 inhabits the 'post-truth' world in its totality. Whilst the media landscape continually shifts, Propaganda 2. 1's analysis is an opportunity to tackle this new reality.
