write a book review (1500-2000 words) on Jason Hannan, Trolling Ourselves to Death:
Democracy in the Age of Social Media (2023).
The review must begin with an introductory paragraph, laying out your initial, overall assessment of the
book. The point of a review is not just to offer your opinion of the book, but to persuade the reader
whether or not they should purchase and read it for themselves. Whatever you think about the book,
outline your reasons at the start this is the thesis of your argument, which is developed and supported in
the body of the review.
The second paragraph (no more than 150 words) must provide a summary of the contents of the book and
the argument that the authors make. This part is essential your own reader is not likely to accept your
opinion unless you can demonstrate, objectively, that you understand the argument the author tries to
make.
For the rest of your review, respond to the following:
Hannan looks behind the phenomenon of trolling to explore the ways in which our use of social media
reveals historical influences and attitudes that, if unchecked or uncorrected, will need to an unpleasant
future for everyone, including the trolls.”
Having read the whole book first, you are to focus on two chapters, Chapter 1 and Chapter 6. For each of
these two chapters, briefly summarize the authors argument, and then discuss whether or not you
are convinced by it.
Then, read Hannans conclusion carefully, and reflect on what he says. The book was written before
Donald Trump was reelected as President of the United States. Does Hannans overall argument still
make sense today? Have the events of the last year illustrated even more clearly what happens when
social media trolls continue to unravel the fabric of society? Do you think trust can be rebuilt or not
and if so, how? Make sure your opinions are supported by specific references to the text, and by good
reasoning (your own!). PLEASE NOTE: ALL references/quotations must be cited CORRECTLY from the paperback
edition sold by the bookstore. If you choose to use a different version, or an e-version, you are
REQUIRED to align your references/quotations with this edition.
