About the Author

Peter Pomerantsev is a British journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author renowned for his incisive explorations of disinformation, propaganda, and the surreal undercurrents of modern geopolitics. Born in Kyiv to Soviet dissident parents, he spent his childhood in the UK before immersing himself in Russia's chaotic media landscape during the 2000s, experiences that profoundly shaped his writing. Pomerantsev's work bridges personal narrative and political analysis, offering vivid portraits of how information warfare reshapes societies. From the hallucinatory world of post-Soviet Russia to the global battles over truth in the digital age, his books challenge readers to navigate an era where reality itself is contested. A frequent contributor to outlets like the London Review of Books and The Atlantic, he continues to illuminate the intersections of media, power, and human resilience.
