Books Are Social‑Media Posts

Some modern political books are being assembled from social‑media posts, newsletters and AI‑generated drafts and consumed by pre‑aligned online fandoms rather than as arguments meant to persuade neutral readers. As a result, editorial precision and fact‑checking are de‑prioritized in favor of emotional intensity and tribal validation. — If true, the shift means traditional markers of credibility (publisher, careful citation, scholarly method) matter less, changing how political claims spread and how to hold authors accountable.
