'Piercingly revelatory ... a tour de force' - Carl Miller, author
of The Death of the Gods '...a must-read ' - Eliot Higgins, author
of We Are Bellingcat 'A timely and frighteningly revealing book' -
Richard Kerbaj, author of The Secret History of the Five Eyes The
internationally bestselling author of Going Dark: the secret social
lives of extremists (A Telegraph Book of the Year) returns to
explore why radical ideas are increasingly infiltrating politics,
popular culture and our everyday lives. Incels. Anti Vaxxers.
Conspiracy theorists. Neo-Nazis. Once, these groups all belonged on
the fringes of the political spectrum. Today, accelerated by a
pandemic, global conflict and rapid technological change, their
ideas are becoming more widespread: QAnon proponents run for U.S.
Congress, neo-fascists win elections in Europe, and celebrity
influencers spread dangerous myths to millions. Going Mainstream
asks the question: What is happening here? Going undercover online
and in person, UK counter-extremism expert Julia Ebner reveals how,
united by a shared sense of grievance and scepticism about
institutions, radicalised individuals are influencing the
mainstream as never before. Hidden from public scrutiny, they
leverage social media to create alternative information ecosystems
and build sophisticated networks funded by dark money. Ebner's
candid conversations with extremists offer a nuanced and gripping
insight into why people have turned to the fringes. She explores
why outlandish ideas have taken hold and disinformation is
spreading faster than ever. And she speaks to the activists and
educators who are fighting to turn the tide. Going Mainstream is a
dispatch from the darkest front of the culture wars, and a vital
wake-up call.
