About this listen

Have you heard that Bill Gates is running a secret genocidal plot? That the war in Ukraine isn't real? Or that people are paid to act out some of the worst attacks imaginable?

In Among the Trolls, BBC journalist Marianna Spring meets the people spreading online conspiracy theories—and their victims. Far from a few lone wolves, she uncovers a staggering network of true believers and conspiracy influencers engaged in an international information war.

Based on first-hand interviews and original reporting, this eye-opening and unforgettable book reveals the human stories behind the fake accounts.

I’ve always enjoyed Mariannas work on podcasts and reporting, and this book is more of the same (in a good way). The impartial nature of her work always stands out (and angers those down conspiracy rabbit holes or on the far right who scream “lie” when it’s something they don’t agree with (looking forward to seeing the trolls come on and bash this book!)

Great listen, if a little depressing on the state of the world.
