Spinfluence – The Hardcore Propaganda Manual For Controlling The Masses, Nick McFarlane

Gingko Press, Hamburger Str. 180, 22083 Hamburg, www.gingkopress.com

The text on the backcover explains the content very well: „This hardcore propaganda manual contains everything you’ll need to know about the art of spinning the truth and manipulating the masses.

A glorious and insightful read for anyone interested in how to exploit people for profit or power.“ Now, this is nothing new, unless it is new to you that „them“ (1%) manipulate „us“ (99%) all the time.

If that is the case, you need to read this book, because you have a problem and need to be enlightend that it is possible to not be fooled by them. In the book instead of enlightend they probably would have used „reconnoiter“ or „elucidate“ and that is the only beef I have with this, there is a few too many of english words that I probably would not use in german.

Or maybe my vocabulary just sucks… you might find out. The book explaines how the herd of COWS (Corporate Wage Slaves) is controlled and manipulated. But what this book really is, is a book of artwork. Every statement, information is accompanied by bold black/white/red graphics in a propaganda style. Great art, well done, goes along very well with the text.

Even thou the book has +260 pages, there is not that much to read, bold text statements with small text printed below, mostly from well known sources. Perfekt mix of artwork and text. The unusual size (16,4 x 12,8 x 2 cm ) for a hardcover book makes this a mini coffeetablebook – does it? I dont know….. 14,90 Euro is not that much to keep you from finding out. (dolf)
