Sharded Media
is the story of how the unleashing of individual public opinion and rage became the most valuable of political currency. The digital’s sharding of experience through personal networks, platforms, recommendations and peer-linked sources, has splintered political awareness, experience and activity. Rage, resentment, hypocrisy, and a hyporeal, self-curated reality, have fractured the political landscape.
This book takes the rise of Donald J. Trump as both a symptom and a catalyst of this phenomenon, embodying the public's disenchantment with liberal democracy and its embrace of a more visceral, emotionally-driven politics. We consider how economic devastation wrought by global neoliberalism and zombie capitalism fuelled public rage against the mainstream, ending in a supreme yet odd coalition for Trump, with an elite which leveraged technology with anti-democratic sentiments to further its goals.
We show how the liberal mainstream news media (MSM) made facts and truth their USP, their core pitch for trust, in precisely the period when they became most elusive. It was the MSM that seduced a middle ground of America to believe that they were reality, pushing the
deplorables
to its margins, until the margins became the reality.
