Mr. Book just finished The Lie Detectives: In Search Of A Playbook For Winning Elections In The Disinformation Age, by Sasha Isenberg.

There just isn’t much to say about this book. The book is just a collection of stories about election disinformation over the past few years, which no real theme to the book or solutions to the problem. The point of the book seems to simply be that lying takes place online. The whole entire content of the book could just be substituted for the preceding sentence and you wouldn’t miss anything by not reading it.

I give this book a C. Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a C equates to 2 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

This review has been posted at my blog, Mr. Book’s Book Reviews, and Goodreads.
