Troll Hunting Audiobook (Free)

In 2013, journalist Ginger Gorman was trolled online and terrified, but once the attack subsided, she found herself curious. Who had been these trolls? How and why did they organize such an attack? And how will someone fight back?

Over the next five years, Gorman spoke to psychologists, trolling victims, law enforcement, academics and, most of all, trolls themselves, embedding herself into their online communities and their psyches with techniques she had never anticipated. She uncovered links between trolling, cyberhate and real-life crimes. She mapped out a cohort of men – mostly angry, youthful and white – who rightly or wrongly experience marginalised and disenfranchised and use the internet to express this.

Troll Hunting is an utterly engrossing, often frightening, but ultimately eye-opening and important screen into the mentality of trolls and how they reflect a real aspect of our society. It will change the way you take into account the internet, and what it means to be a human online.
