Angertainment: How social media outrage ruined everything
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1761636693 | 352 pages | True EPUB | 19.87 MB
We were promised a global village; we got a gladiatorial arena.
No longer just a tool for connection, social media has spawned an entire outrage industry harvesting and monetising our worst impulses. Welcome to the era of Angertainment.
Angertainment shows how our emotions are being hijacked to build political and cultural capital by those who know how to game the outrage economy. How ‘rage bait’― the 2025 Word of the Year―can change how you vote, what you buy and who you hate.
In this high-stakes, highly entertaining journey through our new reality, Ed Coper unmasks the architects of this new power―from manosphere gurus to political demagogues―who have realised that in the attention economy, your anger is the only currency that matters.
Darkly funny and terrifyingly urgent, Angertainment is a groundbreaking manual for dismantling the outrage machine.
First, we must understand it. Then we can work to defeat it.
‘Ed Coper keenly explores and masterfully analyses the dangerous world of angertainment where so much of our politics now resides’ THE HON. MALCOLM TURNBULL AC, 29th PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA

Helps us keep automated scrapers from hammering the filehosts.
For those who may have missed recent events: the switch to premium-only links on Nitroflare was not a decision made by the site administration or the post uploaders. This change was implemented by the file hosting service itself.
We know many of our regular users still use Nitroflare and have active subscriptions, so we won't be removing it. However, we do plan to update our posting rules for uploaders in the near future to better adapt to the situation.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
