Bot farms, fake news, and AI propaganda are rewriting what we think is real.

Every day, millions of invisible accounts and automated networks fight for your attention. Some sell products. Some push politics. Many exist only to keep you angry, distracted, or uncertain.

Reality Hacked pulls back the curtain on the hidden systems that shape what we see and believe online. It shows how bot farms amplify outrage, how “firehose of falsehood” tactics flood social media with conflicting stories, and how artificial intelligence now manufactures entire people, movements, and events from data.

You’ll discover:

• • Why truth feels harder to recognize in the digital age — and who profits from the confusion.
• • How propaganda has evolved from state operations to a global industry run by marketers, influencers, and algorithms.
• • How AI makes manipulation faster, cheaper, and more personal than ever.
• • Simple, practical habits that help you see through the noise and protect your mind from engineered emotion.

Clear, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful, Reality Hacked explains the new rules of an online world where everything competes for belief — and how to stay human when reality itself is up for debate.
