Gabriel Gatehouse
About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Is this how democracy dies?
The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse’s brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories are tearing America apart. It’s a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn’t the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for - it was only the beginning.
A compelling mix of research and reportage, The Coming Storm gets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists. At a perilous moment in the history of American democracy, Gatehouse tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides clues about our future. The Coming Storm marks the debut of a major new voice in political journalism.
“Gabriel Gatehouse is a brilliant spelunker of the rabbit holes of American political culture. A spellbinding storyteller and reader of the runes of the strange times we live in.” – Louis Theroux

Incredible
Unbelievably brilliant - reality is revealed - and it’s shocking. A disabled boy and his laptop blind a world to the truth.

Really interesting take
I found this book to be a really interesting perspective on modern political and social realities. What I found most intriguing was the impact of social media and online presence in shaping conspiracy theories, whether or not there is any truth to them. It's fascinating how these theories can influence real-world decision-making and the thought processes of individuals.

Brilliant
I loved the first podcast series and am now looking forward to series 2 - there was so much more detail in this book and it’s so well structured and argued. Definitely one I’ll re-read!

Some interesting details
Bit drawn out in places and not always novel. Has no solutions of forward looking advice
