   Perhaps you're distressed about the "perfect storm of disinformation" that's hitting the world now, and will only ramp up during the next US election.

   Fear not!

   Read my latest book (co-authored with @seanlawson) Social Engineering:

   https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262543453/

   You'll see that none of this is new.
   (It's just far far more intense! And scary! Ok, I'm scared, too!)

     @rwg @seanlawson wow, great to see it is open access! That makes me want to exchange it for Hadnagy in my Hacker Culture course: https://nathanschneider.info/school/hacker_culture

     How would you compare the two books?

     @rwg @seanlawson Honestly chapter 4 of your book is perfect, paired with the "Catching Kevin" essay. The stereotyping analysis is just what I needed.
