Описание: A cry of warning for the future of elections--the inside story from the young man who created and later blew the whistle on the unprecedented data-mining project that impacted both the 2016 U.S. election and the Brexit referendum, that reveals the connections among Cambridge Analytica, Donald Trump, Facebook, Wikileaks, Russian intelligence, international hackers, and organized crime.

Mindf*ck goes deep inside Cambridge Analyticas America operation, driven by Steve Bannons vision to remake America and fueled by mysterious billionaire Robert Mercers money, as it weaponized and wielded the massive store of data it had harvested on individual Americans - in excess of 87 million - to disunite the United States, and set Americans against each other. Bannon had long sensed that deep within Americas soul lurked an explosive tension. CA had the data to prove it and in 2016 he had a presidential campaign to use as his proving ground.

Wylie was an unlikely figure to be at the center of such an operation. Canadian and liberal in is politics, he was only twenty-four when he got a job with a London firm that worked with the UK Ministry of Defense and was charged putatively with helping to build a team of data scientists to create new tools to identify and combat radical extremism online. In short order, those same military tools were turned to political purposes, and Cambridge Analytica was born.

Wylies decision to become a whistleblower prompted the largest data crime investigation in history. His story is both expose and dire warning, about a sudden problem born of very new and powerful capabilities. It has exposed not only the profound vulnerabilities - and profound carelessness - in the enormous companies that drive the attention economy, it also exposed the profound vulnerabilities of democracy itself. 2016 was just a trial run. Ruthless actors are coming for your data, and they want to control what you think.
