With years of in-depth research and probing interviews under her belt, Reeve was aware of the preoccupations of the online far right and their journey from the computer to QAnon, militias, and racist groups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, Reeve saw a parallel growth of counterforces, with citizen vigilantes using new tools and tactics to take down the far right. This ongoing battle, long fought mainly on the internet, has spilled out into the real world with greater and greater frequency, culminating in the attempted coup on January 6th.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCombining her years of on-the-ground reporting, Reeve clearly illustrates this shocking sweep of violence, where this cultural shift came from, and where it is going. She also introduces us to a shocking but powerful cast of characters, such as the creator of 8chan—an online hub for conspiracies and misogynistic rhetoric—and the white power leader who is still pulling the strings from a prison cell. Uncovering the hidden links between these events and how we can prevent further upheavals of this nature, \u003ci\u003eBlack Pill\u003c\/i\u003e is a necessary read for any supporter of democracy.","brand":"Elle Reeve","offers":[{"title":"Atria Books |  Hardback  |  2024-07-09","offer_id":45348962566399,"sku":"9781982198886","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_58df62a6-a18b-40c1-88d2-e2771b15b4e7.jpg?v=1714323871","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781982198886","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
