Translated from the German.

Chapter One - The Crisis of Truth: or the suspicion of manipulation -- Chapter Two - The Crisis of Discourse: or the diminishing of the gatekeepers -- Chapter Three - The Crisis of Authority: or the pains of visibility -- Chapter Four - The Crisis of Cosiness: or the collapse of contexts -- Chapter Five - The Crisis of Reputation: or the omnipresence of scandals -- Chapter Six - The Tangible Utopia of an Editorial Society.

"Each person is now consumer, producer and distributor of stories - chosen for excitement rather than veracity. Bernhard Poerksen tells us that there is a way forward but only if schools utterly transform learning and prepare students to dissect and understand this brave new world of endless digital flow." - Jerry Brown, governor of California (1975-83; 2011-2019) "Bernhard Poerksen's heady description of the communications world we are moving toward is unlike any I have read. It made me rebuild my understanding of what is going on. Try it against yours." - Jay Rosen, writer and professor of journalism at New York University Terror warnings, fake news, spectacles and scandals in real time - the networked world has wound itself up into a nervous frenzy, where everything has become visible: the banal and the terrible, the uninhibited abuse and the anonymous attack. Translated for the first time into English, Digital Fever analyses the patterns of outrage and agitation that have come to define social media and the Internet, exposing their devastating impact on our notions of truth, debate, authority and power. In this endless cycle of outrage, Poerksen argues that the intelligent use of information must become part of the general education provided by schools: the digital society must be transformed into an editorial one. In order for democracy to survive, we must as a society achieve media maturity. A blazing tour of the contemporary landscape of fake-news, echo chambers, disinformation, manipulation, and the turbulence that democracy is undergoing, this book not only analyses this digital economy of outrage, but serves as a guiding light to overcome it.
