BEHIND THE DIGITAL HEADLINES – NONFICTION

BEN MEZRICH‘s Breaking Twitter: Elon Musk and the Most Controversial Corporate Takeover in History examines the darkly comic battle between one of the most intriguing, polarizing, influential men of our time and the company that represents our culture’s dearest hope for a shared global conversation. BEN SMITH’s Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion-Dollar Race to Go Viral is the origin story of the post-truth age. This is the tale of rivals Nick Denton at Gawker and Jonah Peretti at HuffPost and BuzzFeed – where Smith was editor-in-chief – whose pursuit of attention helped release the dark forces that would overtake the internet and American society.
