What caused the Covid-19 pandemic, a natural event or an accident in a laboratory? Were the mitigation measures such as lockdowns and mask wearing based on scientific evidence, or rather aimed at curtailing civil liberties and disrupting economic activities, under the secret manoeuvring of a global cabal of politicians and financiers? Were Covid 19 vaccines effective in curbing the spread of the disease, or were they just a profitable scheme by big pharmaceutical companies? And did authoritarian governments manage the pandemic better than democracies? These questions and speculations, some legitimate, some dubious, have been swirling around the globe through social media, alternative information outlets, instant messaging apps, and mainstream media since the beginning of the pandemic, feeding the ‘infodemic an overwhelming surge ofinformation, misinformation, rumours and conspiracy theories which continue to linger in public and private discourse. With an original take on concepts and theories drawn from post truth and disinformation studies, the book analyses the ‘inŕodemic’ through a series of global case studies. Framing the ‘infodemic’ as a complex, multi-layered phenomenon with vast geopolitical implications, Gabriele Cosentino reveals how Covid-19 was a flashpoint in the global competition for control in twentyfirst century geopolitics between Western liberal democracies and non Western autocracies, and above all between the United States and China. GABRIELE COSENTINO is Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at The American
University in Cairo, Egypt.
