**HOW TO WIN AN INFORMATION WAR: THE PROPAGANDIST WHO OUTWITTED HITLER - AVAILABLE NOW**Electrifying.Anne ApplebaumMesmerising.Financial TimesSeductive and terrifying in equal measure.The TimesRequired reading.ObserverA journey into the glittering, surreal heart of 21st century Russia: into the lives of Hells Angels convinced they are messiahs, professional killers with the souls of artists, bohemian theatre directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, supermodel sects, post-modern dictators and oligarch revolutionaries. This is a world erupting with new money and new power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of reality, where life is seen as a whirling, glamorous masquerade where identities can be switched and all values are changeable. It is home to a new form of authoritarianism, far subtler than 20th century strains, and which is rapidly expanding to challenge the global order.An extraordinary book - one which is as powerful and entertaining as it is troubling - Nothing is True and Everything is Possible offers a wild ride into this political and ethical vacuum.

Cuando la información es un arma, el mundo entero está en guerra.Hace cuarenta años, los padres de Peter Pomerantsev tuvieron que abandonar la Ucrania soviética, donde la censura impedia el libre acceso a la verdad y a toda la informacion. Hoy las cosas han cambiado radicalmente y vivimos en una nueva era en la que la abundancia de datos es abrumadora, pero paradojicamente eso no ha aportado los beneficios que esperabamos. La guerra de la informacion que en la actualidad se libra en las redes, tanto en regimenes autoritarios como en democracias, ha conseguido contaminar y modificar la verdad rodeandola de noticias falsas.En La manipulacion de la verdad, Pomerantsev analiza y denuncia de forma brillante las estrategias y los intereses para manipular la realidad, que se dan en todos los niveles: desde bots y hackers anonimos hasta gobernantes como Putin y Trump.
