The authors use their skills and analytic insights to delve systematically into the emergence of a president whom many have labeled as divisive and reckless. They tell an incisive story of a nation divided ideologically, but also oriented, in common, via technology. This apparent contradiction constitutes what the authors call a ‘narrative moment’ that provides a well-conceived and well-written account of the complex correlation between political discourse and technological access to such discourse.

Michael A. Katovich, Texas Christian University
Since President Trump’s election, have you ever wondered how to talk about politics with family members, students, white nationalists, evangelical Christians, and all those who voted for Trump? I know I have. This volume takes on these issues in a deep and thoughtful way. It is a must-read for all who are concerned about the profit-centered narrative of our current administration, the deep divisions within our country, and the potential harm to our moral society and physical environment.

Carolyn Ellis, University of South Florida
