Communicating with Memes: Consequences in Post-truth Civilization
investigates the consequences of memetic communication, the causes of
these consequences, and what action—if any—should be taken in
response. Communicating with memes across social media networks has
become a commonplace activity in today’s world, despite the fact
that just years earlier, this mode of communication was a rarity. The
rapid adoption of this new mode of communication through ubiquitous
social media and device use is resulting in a major transformation of
the ways in which we think and behave in our digital world. From the
election of Donald Trump, to online harassment and identity theft, to
the resurgence of once-eradicated diseases due to the anti-vaxxer
movement, Grant Kien analyzes fourteen major consequences of this
shift and confronts the question of how to approach these
consequences.
