The Coming Storm A Journey into the Heart of the Conspiracy Machine

Is this how democracy dies?

The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse-s brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories became weaponised and used as wrecking balls to the liberal world order. As Donald Trump lays siege to the institutions of the American state, Gatehouse traces the roots of a radical new political movement. Winding his way from the early years of the Clinton administration into the murky depths of the 6 January storming of the US Capitol and beyond, The Coming Storm reveals a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists preparing the ground for a period of epochal change. Behind the chaos and the bombast, at the nexus of politics and new technology, democracy is becoming a thing of the past. On the cusp of a new era, Gatehouse peers into our imminent future, where a group of Silicon Valley titans have hijacked power, even reality itself.
