"Mindf*ck goes deep inside Cambridge Analytica's "American operations," which were driven by Steve Bannon's vision to remake America and fueled by mysterious billionaire Robert Mercer's money, as it weaponized and wielded the massive store of data it had harvested on individuals--in excess of 87 million--to disunite the United States and set Americans against each other. Bannon had long sensed that deep within America's soul lurked an explosive tension. Cambridge Analytica had the data to prove it, and in 2016 Bannon had a presidential campaign to use as his proving ground."--Amazon.

Thrilling read submitted by jibkidder on June 23, 2022, 11:33pm Like other accounts from the inside on CA, it's a little hard to parse the authors motives, harder still to know what level of bias is within this account, but even with the uncertainty in the air as to what sort of impact this sketchy Facebook data mining had, it's pretty safe to say it's all horrifying regardless. Of course, anyone whose been alive long enough can observe the profound, and profoundly dark, changes technology has made on on the behavior, psychology and beliefs and everyone everywhere, I mean, if they feel like observing such a thing. "Targeted" is another book on CA from another former employee. I recommend both.
