Against the Web

In Against the Web, Michael Brooks offers an incisive critique of the so-called Intellectual Dark Web, a collection of influential figures who have gained prominence in recent years. Drawing from his experience as the host of The Michael Brooks Show and co-host of the Majority Report, Brooks navigates the complexities of the new media landscape and the rise of these conservative voices. He examines how they have leveraged platforms like YouTube to disseminate their ideas and influence public discourse, often with little accountability.

Brooks presents a thorough analysis of notable figures such as Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Brett Weinstein, highlighting their arguments while also pointing out their shortcomings. He skillfully dissects the narratives these individuals promote, revealing the underlying motivations and ideological frameworks that drive their popularity. By doing so, Against the Web not only critiques these figures but also challenges the broader political and social climate that allows their ideas to flourish.

This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of contemporary political discourse. Brooks provides a balanced perspective, addressing the failings of both the Right and the Left. With sharp insights and a commitment to clarity, Against the Web invites readers to critically engage with the ideas shaping our world and to recognize the tactics employed by those who seek to manipulate public opinion.
