It Came from Something Awful
How 4chan and 8chan fuel white nationalism, inspire violence, and infect politics. The internet has transformed the ways we think and act, and by consequence, our politics. The most impactful recent political movements on the far left and right started with massive online collectives of teenagers. Strangely, both movements began on the same website: an anime imageboard called 4chan.org. It Came from Something Awful is the fascinating and bizarre story of sites like 4chan and 8chan and their profound effect on youth counterculture. Dale Beran has observed the anonymous messageboard community's shifting activities and interests since the beginning. Sites like 4chan and 8chan are microcosms of ...
Summary of Dale Beran's It Came from Something Awful
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I went to an anime convention in Baltimore thirteen years ago. I didn’t like anime, and I felt too old for the event, but I went out of curiosity. What I saw was the same kids in costumes. #2 4chan. org, the website that Poole founded, was used to trade pictures of anime girls with his friends. It was eventually used by millions of people to trade pictures of anime girls with their friends. #3 4chan, a post-cultural garbage heap, transformed into the post-cultural garbage heap upon which the events of our age stood. It was a place to post content and talk to people online, but it also became the birthplace of the alt-right. #4 Media reports, Trump, fake news, late-night TV, and talking head pundits on 24-hour cable news all tangled up into the heap of social media are the source of confusion. The book attempts to explain how this all came to be.

Rethinking the Way We Teach Science
Offering a fresh take on inquiry, this book draws on current research and theory in science education, literacy, and educational psychology, as well as the history and philosophy of science, to make its case for transforming the way science is taught. Re-thinking the Way We Teach Science addresses major themes in national reform documents and movements--how to place students at the center of what happens in the classroom; how to shift the focus from giving answers to building arguments; how to move beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries to integrated explorations of ideas and issues that connect directly with students; and most especially, the importance of engaging students in discussions of an interactive and explanatory character. Deeply anchored in the classroom, highly interactive, and relevant across grade levels and subject matter, above all this is a book about choosing to place the authority of reason over that of right answers.
Populism and Conspiracy Theory
This book explores the close connections between populism and conspiracy theory. Populism and Conspiracy Theory contributes to filling the gap in the research in this area. The individual contributions in Part I provide in-depth analyses of specific configurations of populism and conspiracy theory. Part II includes nuanced considerations of more theoretical issues. The case studies cover both right-wing and left-wing manifestations of populism, while highlighting that populist movements often cut across the traditional left-right divide. Chapters focus on the twenty-first century and the first half of the twentieth century, as well as the impact of history and memory on contemporary discours...

Russian Nazi Troll Bots! The Busy PersonÕs Guide to How TrumpÕs Trolls Won the Internet, WhatÕs Ahead, and What You Can Do
It's beyond dispute that trolls and automated "bots" helped Donald Trump win the White House in 2016. Some of the troll operations involved were based in Russia, but domestic interests also participated in the invasion. In fact, trolls of all types, from all corners of the internet, came together in a perfect storm of propaganda, disinformation, and political dissent. The confusion wrought by the multi-pronged troll invasion still affects our online spaces today, leaving many questions unanswered. Who are the trolls? What do they want? How do they operate? Why couldn't our intelligence agencies put a stop to Russian and right-wing trolling? Can trolling be stopped? And what's with all the fr...
