Book Description

Expanding on the works of Jacques Ellul, Noam Chomsky, Upton Sinclair, and many others, Lattice of Lies investigates a power structure that controls through a divided media system of propaganda. Due to an onslaught of disinformation, there is an urgent need for media literacy. By taking a closer look at the media model and history of propaganda, the reader will have a deeper understanding of the forces that desire to divide and indoctrinate the American people. By exploring narrative construction, the reader can better decode the deceptions and counter the political playbook. While Machiavelli aided the prince in his quest for power, Lattice of Lies serves the people in their defense against tyranny.
