'His relish is infectious' Times 'The funniest book I've read in ages. Savage but compelling' Ian Rankin 'Funny, rumbustious, unstinting and wonderfully Hogarthian' The Observer 'Sharp, funny, and beautifully written... a brilliant reflection on the landscape we now live in' Joanna Cannon _______________ What a thing of wonder a mobile phone is. Six ounces of metal, glass and plastic, fashioned into a sleek, shiny, precious object. At once, a gateway to other worlds - and a treacherous weapon in the hands of the unwary, the unwitting, the inept. The Cleverley family live a gilded life, little realising how precarious their privilege is, just one tweet away from disaster. George, the patriarch, is a stalwart of television interviewing, a 'national treasure' (his words), his wife Beverley, a celebrated novelist (although not as celebrated as she would like), and their children, Nelson, Elizabeth, Achilles, various degrees of catastrophe waiting to happen. Together they will go on a journey of discovery through the Hogarthian jungle of the modern living where past presumptions count for nothing and carefully curated reputations can be destroyed in an instant. Along the way they will learn how volatile, how outraged, how unforgiving the world can be when you step from the proscribed path. Powered by John Boyne's characteristic humour and razor-sharp observation, The Echo Chamber is a satiric helter skelter, a dizzying downward spiral of action and consequence, poised somewhere between farce, absurdity and oblivion. To err is maybe to be human but to really foul things up you only need a phone. The new novel by John Boyne, WATER, is available for pre-order now.

Enter the world of Evie Steppman, born into the dying days of the British Empire in Nigeria. It's loud and cacophonous. Why? Because Evie can hear things no one else can. Although she's too young to understand all the sounds she takes in, she hoards them in a vast internal sonic archive. Today, alone in an attic in Scotland, Evie's powers of hearing are starting to fade, and she must write her story before it disintegrates into a meaningless din. But the attic itself is not as quiet as she hoped. The scratching of mice, the hum of traffic, the tic-toc of a pocket watch and countless other sounds merge with the noises of Evie's past: her time in the womb, her childhood in Nigeria, her travels across America with her lover . . .

In a world more connected than ever, we have never been more divided. The Echo Chamber Effect is a powerful and deeply thought-provoking exploration of how social media platforms quietly shape the way we think, feel, and interact. Drawing on psychology, technology, and human behaviour, Elira Fontayne exposes the subtle mechanics that transform our online experiences into self-reinforcing bubbles of belief. What began as a promise of global connection has evolved into an intricate system of algorithmic design - one that rewards outrage, amplifies bias, and narrows perception. Through ten revealing chapters, this book unpacks the hidden architecture of the digital age, where algorithms curate our feeds, emotions drive engagement, and our sense of truth becomes fragmented by constant validation. Inside you'll discover: How algorithms personalise reality and create invisible digital walls. Why confirmation bias makes us crave agreement more than accuracy. How selective exposure and social homophily lead us to choose tribes over truth. The psychology of social validation and groupthink - and why dissent feels dangerous. How information overload drives mental shortcuts that distort reasoning. The impact of microtargeting and personalised advertising on opinion and democracy. How misinformation spreads faster than facts and corrodes public trust. Why emotional contagion intensifies division and polarisation online. How social media strips nuance from complex issues, reducing debate to slogans. How empathy erodes when we see opponents as algorithms, not people. Elira Fontayne writes with clarity, depth, and urgency, revealing how technology and human psychology intertwine to create the perfect feedback loop of modern communication. Yet this book is not a lament - it is a call to awareness. The Echo Chamber Effect challenges readers to step outside the digital mirror, to question what they see, and to rediscover the lost art of listening in a world that has learned to shout. Combining vivid examples with accessible analysis, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how opinions are formed, how belief becomes belonging, and how social media influences everything from politics to empathy. Whether you're a digital native, educator, policymaker, or everyday user, The Echo Chamber Effect offers the insight and perspective needed to navigate today's polarised information landscape with discernment and hope. Chapters Include: Algorithmic Personalisation - The Filter Bubble Creator Confirmation Bias - The Brain's Natural Echo Selective Exposure and Homophily - Choosing Our Tribe Social Validation and Groupthink - The Pressure to Conform Information Overload and Heuristics - Mental Shortcuts Microtargeting and Personalised Advertising - Fueling the Fire Spread of Misinformation and Disinformation - Eroding Trust Emotional Contagion and Group Polarisation - Intensifying Beliefs Lack of Nuance - Simplifying Complex Issues Erosion of Empathy - From Understanding to Hostility Final Conclusion: Awareness is power. Once you see how the echo chamber operates, you can begin to reclaim your perspective, rebuild empathy, and engage with the digital world on your own terms.

Over the past thirty years, humanity has made a huge mistake. We handed over to big tech decisions that have allowed them to build what has become our "space of the world" – the highly artificial space of social media platforms where much of our social life now unfolds. This has proved reckless and has huge social consequences. The toxic effects on social life, young people’s mental health, and political solidarity are well known, but the key factor underlying all this has been missed: the fact that humanity allowed business to construct our space of the world at all and then exploit it for profit. In the process, we ignored two millennia of political thought about the conditions under which a healthy or even a non-violent politics is possible. We endangered the one resource that is in desperately short supply in the face of catastrophic climate change: solidarity. Is human solidarity possible in a world of continuous digital connection and commercially managed platforms, and what if it isn’t? In the first book of his trilogy, Humanising the Future, Nick Couldry offers a radical new vision of how to design our digital spaces so that they build, rather than erode, both solidarity and community. This trenchant and vividly written book stresses that we cannot afford not to care for our space of the world. We need to rebuild it together.

A Silicon Valley scandal sets the world on a dystopian downward spiral in this tech thriller of virtual reality and corporate conspiracy. Mike is a Silicon Valley wunderkind who stood idly by while his company launched an addicting social media platform with disastrous consequences for the world. Then he watched as an outrageous tech scandal pushed a polarized country to the brink of collapse. But now, after getting trapped in a loop of his own memories, Mike is doomed to watch society fall apart over and over. Only by crossing paths with Charlotte Boone—once Hollywood’s up-and-coming royalty—does a kink appear in the pattern. By pulling off a daring heist in both the virtual and real worlds, Charlotte may hold the key to burning it all to the ground: the company, the lying pundits, and the echo chamber itself.

The essays in this volume explore some of the disconcerting realities of fanaticism, by analyzing its unique dynamics, and considering how it can be productively confronted. The book features both analytic and continental philosophical approaches to fanaticism. Working at the intersections of epistemology, philosophy of emotions, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion, the contributors address a range of questions related to this increasingly relevant, yet widely neglected topic. What are the distinctive features of fanaticism? What are its causes, motivations, and reasons? In what ways, if at all, is fanaticism epistemically, ethically, and politically problematic? And how can fanaticism be combatted or curtailed? The Philosophy of Fanaticism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in epistemology, philosophy of religion, philosophy of emotions, moral psychology, and political philosophy.

From the poet and translator of The Popol Vuh , a collection that explores the myth of Echo and Narcissus, offering a reboot, a remix, a reimagining. "Narcissus was never one to see himself // in moving water. // He liked his image / still." In The Echo Chamber, myth is refracted into our current moment. A time traveler teaches a needleworker the pleasures of social media gratification. A man goes looking for his face and is first offered a latex mask. A book reveals eerie transmutations of a simple story. And the myth itself is retold, probing its most provocative qualities—how reflective waters enable self-absorption, the tragic rightness of Echo and Narcissus as a couple. The Echo Chamber examines our endlessly self-referential age of selfies and televised wars and manufactured celebrity, gazing lingeringly into the many kinds of damage it produces, and the truths obscured beneath its polished surface. In the process, Bazzett cements his status as one of our great poetic fools—the comedian who delivers uncomfortable silence, who sheds layers of disguises to reveal light underneath, who smuggles wisdom within "rage-mothered laughter." Late-stage capitalism, history, death itself: all are subject to his wry, tender gaze. By turns searing, compassionate, and darkly humorous, The Echo Chamber creates an echo through time, holding up the broken mirror of myth to our present-day selves. "A biting interrogation into the current selfie-age of narcissism. Funny as a knife, sharp as a punchline, Bazzett takes quotidian chores and blows images up into mythic proportions." — RHINO Poetry "Bazzett artfully leads readers to contemplate the mythology of the self through a deftly woven collection." — Litbreak Magazine
