The industrialisation of disinformation - Interview with Carl Miller

Just as the rise of radio as a medium in the 1930s ran in parallel with the ascendency of Nazism, so in the 21st century the rise of the internet is accompanied by unprecedented levels of discord, division, and coercion. Joseph Goebbels saw radio as a new wonder weapon when combined with the emerging disciplines of behavioural psychology and social science. Today I am talking with Carl Miller about the death of the 20th century’s propaganda weapons, and the creation of new ones in the 21st. Carl Miller is an experienced digital researcher, author and international speaker, Partner and Research Director at CASM Technology, Visiting Fellow at King's and an International Speaker in great demand. He is also author of the fascinating book “The Death of the Gods – The New Global Power Grab”. Carl is interested in how technology is changing society and politics. In 2012 he co-founded the first UK think tank institute dedicated to studying the digital world at Demos and has been its Research Director ever since. He writes widely on tech and society, including for The Economist, Wired, New Scientist, The Sunday Times, the Telegraph and the Guardian.
