Storm: A Journey into the Heart of the Conspiracy Machine Hardcover – 5 Sept. 2024
English
edition by Gabriel Gatehouse (auteur)
“Gabriel
Gatehouse is a brilliant spelunker of the rabbit holes of American political
culture. A spellbinding storyteller and reader of the runes of the strange
times we live in.” – Louis Theroux
Is this how
democracy dies?
The Coming
Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse’s brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories
are tearing America apart. It’s a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one
that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an
epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the
Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the
storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn’t the wild finale of a chaotic
Trump presidency many hoped for - it was only the beginning.
A compelling
mix of research and reportage, The Coming Storm gets under the skin of these
conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a
movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet
trolls and white supremacists. At a perilous moment in the history of American
democracy, Gatehouse tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides
clues about our future. The Coming Storm marks the debut of a major new voice
in political journalism.
