Originally published in February 2010, this prophetic book predicted many of the current challenges related to misinformation, from fake news to the dominance of social media and influencers.
A prophecy fulfilled: "BEWARE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE" precisely anticipated today's panorama of misinformation. With the advent of fake news, pseudonews and the growing power of influencers, the book's message has become more relevant than ever. This new edition includes crucial updates to help readers navigate an increasingly complex and perilous world.
Book synopsis: The book explores how modern information "wizards" manipulate the masses, using the media as accomplices to spread deception and promote hidden interests. Fuser proposes the use of a critical spirit and independence of thought as essential antidotes to this drift, encouraging readers to reflect on the messages they receive daily and to make informed choices.
An interactive experience: Innovative right from the initial cover, which features a QR code that links to exclusive multimedia content, "BEWARE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN" was the first Italian book to exploit this technology. This interactive approach makes reading an engaging and modern experience, transforming the reader from a passive spectator to a conscious actor.
