The Instability of Truth

Because brainwashing affects both the world and our observation of the world, we often cannot recognise it while it's happening-unless we know where to look. In The Instability of Truth, Rebecca Lemov exposes the myriad ways our minds can be controlled against our will, exploring the history of brainwashing techniques from those employed against POWs in North Korea to the 'soft' brainwashing of social media doomscrolling and behaviour-shaping.
