A powerful investigation into the world of extremism and
redemption, from TIME journalist and author of Cast Away. "Far Out
is an excellent mix of investigative journalism, entertaining
storytelling and intelligent analysis. Its individual stories are
like pieces of a puzzle that McDonald-Gibson assembles to offer
deeply human insights into the drivers of radicalisation and
extremism" - Julia Eber, author of Going Dark What makes an
extremist? From obscure cults to revolutionary movements, people
have always been seduced by fringe beliefs. And in today's deeply
divided world, more people than ever are drawn to polarising
ideologies. All too often we simply condemn those whose positions
offend us, instead of trying to understand what draws people to the
far edges of society -- and what can pull them back again. In Far
Out, we meet eight people from across religious, ideological, and
national divides who found themselves drawn to radical beliefs,
including a young man who became the face of white supremacy in
Trump-era America, a Norwegian woman sucked into a revolutionary
conspiracy in the 1980s, a schoolboy who left Britain to fight in
Syria, and an Australian from the far-left Antifa movement. By
immersing us in their stories, McDonald-Gibson challenges our ideas
of who or what an extremist is, and shows us not only what we can
do to prevent extremism in the future, but how we can start healing
the rifts in our world today.
