This timely edited volume, Propaganda in the Digital Age, offers a crucial examination of the pervasive influence of propaganda in the 21st century. As Cees J. Hamelink notes in the foreword, the contemporary information landscape presents unprecedented opportunities for mind management and brainwashing, making this collection all the more relevant. The book examines the evolving tactics of modern propagandists, exploring how they leverage digital platforms, manipulate narratives, and exploit media complicity to shape public perceptions. Through a diverse range of case studies and theoretical frameworks, the contributors analyze propaganda's impact on global conflicts, political discourse, media performance, and social dynamics. The volume not only illuminates the sophisticated techniques employed in information warfare but also prompts critical reflection on the responsibilities of information consumers in the digital age. -- Alexander V. Laskin., professor, Quinnipiac University
