This is an automatically translated description
The book is the result of a study of the infodemic - the uncontrolled massive spread of disinformation. It shows that the information and real world are closely interconnected. Just as viruses have become an important factor in human development, so information is becoming a virus that people do not come into contact with, but it directly affects them. Just as during wars, enemies use information as a weapon, so information warfare spreads the fire of its fire into the real world.
The infodemic has determined the course of the global COVID-19 pandemic in terms of society's response to this global social event. The infodemic has caused global consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war, both for the economic situation and the social and humanitarian sphere. The only difference is that not everyone has yet realised that the war in Europe is a global event, just like the pandemic.
Disinformation has become a weapon of mass destruction. It is used both during a pandemic and even more so during a war. The infodemic has become a phenomenon that marks all important social events, affecting all of humanity and certain groups of people. "The Infodemic is not only an attempt to understand the global pandemic, but also partly notes on the fields of the Russian war against Ukraine in the kinetic, informational, virtual, and semantic plane.
The book addresses the reader who is looking for answers to the questions of how and where modern society is moving and what impact global social events have on the vector of this movement.
The book is illustrated with photographs by Ukrainian journalist and photojournalist Stas Kozliuk.
He was nominated for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in the International Reporting category. He received the award for his material on the events in Bucha during the Russian invasion.
