About This Book

How Algorithms Shape What We Believe

Manufactured Reality reveals how recommendation systems, ranking algorithms, and engagement metrics can distort perception until manufactured narratives feel more real than reality itself.

Alexander H. Blackwell explains how digital platforms turn attention into a product, reward outrage and repetition, and narrow the information people encounter.

Readers will learn how to:

  • Recognize how engagement metrics influence visibility
  • Understand the hidden mechanics of recommendation systems
  • See why repetition can create the illusion of truth
  • Question what appears popular, relevant, or authoritative
  • Resist engagement-driven distortion in online media
  • Written for readers concerned about misinformation, media literacy, technology ethics, and the social impact of social platforms, this book offers a clear and practical framework for understanding algorithmic power. It is an essential resource for students, journalists, civic leaders, and anyone seeking to navigate digital information with greater clarity and confidence.
