The New York Review of Books writer Jonathan Freeland features Philip N. Howard’s LIE MACHINES in his article “Disinformed to Death.” Freeland writes that “the moment is ripe . . . for books on disinformation . . . these ‘lie machines’ – consisting, Howard writes, of the governments or political campaigns that produce the lies alongside the social media platforms, algorithms, and bots that distribute them – matter gravely.” Yale University Press published the book on May 19, 2020.
