《打破社交媒体棱镜》内容简介
我们在现实世界遭受社会孤立之苦，被我们寄予厚望打破隔离的互联网，如今也日益变成充满隔阂与暴力的场所。我们把社交媒体平台的政策和内容分发算法视为罪魁祸首，考虑彻底退网的可能，但本书作者克里斯·贝尔让我们停下来思考另一种可能。利用经过精妙设计的在线实验和深入访谈，他在本书中证明了走出回声室（信息茧房）会使我们更加极化，而不是减少极化。本书挑战了关于回声室、境外势力和激进算法的常见神话，揭示了社交媒体的功能更像是一面棱镜，它扭曲了我们的身份认同，增强了追求地位的极端派的力量，让温和派几乎隐形；而政治部落主义的解决之道，就在我们自身深处。

Breaking the Prism of Social Media
We suffer from social isolation in the real world, and the Internet, which we hope to break down, is increasingly becoming a place of division and violence. We see social media platforms' policies and content distribution algorithms as culprits and consider the possibility of going offline altogether, but Chris Bell, the author of this book, makes us pause and consider another possibility. Using cleverly designed online experiments and in-depth interviews, he demonstrates in this book that stepping out of the echo chamber will polarize us more, not less. Challenging common myths about echo chambers, foreign powers, and radical algorithms, the book reveals that social media functions more like a prism, distorting our identity, empowering status-seeking extremists, and making moderates virtually invisible; The solution to political tribalism lies deep within ourselves.
