An accessible and important look at what is truly behind our
digital outrageOn any given day, at any given hour, across the
various platforms constituting what we call social media, someone
is angry. Facebook. Instagram. Twitter. Reddit. 4Chan. In The
Rhetoric of Outrage: Why Social Media is Making Us Angry Professor
Jeff Rice addresses the increasingly critical question of why anger
has become the dominant digital response on social media. He
examines the theoretical and rhetorical explanations for the
intense rage that prevails across social media platforms, and sheds
new light on how our anger isn't merely a reaction against singular
events, but generated out of subversive, aggregated beliefs and
ideas. Captivating, accessible, and exceedingly important, The
Rhetoric of Outrage: Why Social Media Is Making Us Angry encourages
readers to have the difficult conversations about what is truly
behind their anger.
