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
