Real Fake

When U.S. government employees Rachel and Andre discover that someone is using social media to spread false narratives about an upcoming election, they go to work. With the election nearly upon them, the two cybersleuths follow the trail of "deepfakes" synthetic media to a "troll farm" command center in Russia. But will they be able to stop the cyber assailants from causing chaos, confusion, and division before it's too late? Commissioned by the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) and inspired by real-world events, this lavishly illustrated, full-color graphic novel demonstrates how threat actors capitalize on political and social issues (especially around election cycles) to stealthily plant doubt in the minds of American voters and steer their opinion. A fascinating and eye-opening story for anyone who wants to know more about how false media influence our opinions.
