Wired Minds: Reverse Psychology and Manipulation in the Digital Age (Paperback) is a comprehensive exploration of digital manipulation that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of media influence is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While Wired Minds: Reverse Psychology and Manipulation in the Digital Age (Paperback) makes several valuable points about media influence, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of online behavior seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to digital manipulation. That said, the sections on algorithm bias are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in media influence, this could be a truly outstanding work.
