THE NEW INVESTIGATION BY ENRICA PERUCCHIETTI
FROM THE MANIPULATION OF PUBLIC OPINION
TO POST-TRUTH: how power controls the media and fabricates information to obtain consensus
After the successes of Global Government, The Manipulation Factory e Unisex, Enrica Perucchietti returns to analyze the relationship between the means of communication, power and strategies of social control, showing how the first to lie to public opinion are the mainstream media.
Taking up and updating the main themes of the masterpiece by George Orwell, 1984, the author shows how the battle against fake news intends to repress dissent and censor independent information, introducing – in fact – lo psychocrime and preventing people not only from expressing themselves, but even to think.

«We are largely governed by men about whom we know nothing, but which are capable of shaping our mentality, guide our tastes, suggest what to think".
Edward Bernays

The latest book by Enrica Perucchietti can be considered a real cry of alarm. Let's talk about Fake News (Arianna Publishing), which uses the preface of Marcello Foa. The ongoing battle against so-called fake news is, actually, for Perucchietti a further big step towards a modern form of psychocrime, desired by government forces that do not accept counter-current thinking. A super-hot topic especially in these times where the term fake news has become almost fashionable but behind it there are realities and new risks that are not always easy to interpret. The book intends to be a compass to better understand "who and what is behind it", as evidenced by the interview we did with the author.
Why this book? As an established author, what are the needs that led you to write this new critical essay?
In recent years I have delved more and more into the topic of manipulation and social control. The current global battle against fake news fits into this context: in fact, I believe that it is a form of exploitation to convince public opinion to introduce the crime of opinion and above all to censor alternative information which takes place above all on the web. Power today, like Orwell's Big Brother, subjugates the minds of citizens through "reality control" and nothing must escape the meshes of its all-pervasive domination. The power, that is, it empties the minds of citizens to fill them with its own contents: whoever opposes, anyone who dissents is accused of "psychocrime". In the book, I show how many themes addressed by Orwell in 1984 have or are coming true.
Today those who do not align themselves with single thinking and political correctness are in fact persecuted, risks censorship and in the future, thanks to the political proposals that I talk about extensively in the book, will be punished with fines or even arrest.
