The INFOWARP: How the Internet unleashed expertise…and scrambled the brains of the experts. From Covid to Ukraine. And how A.I. will amplify the Internet’s power for good and ill – fueling unprecedented creativity, generating unimaginable wealth, and making the previous era of censorship and infowarfare look like child’s play.
