ABOUT THE BOOK
With electrifying honesty and spirit, Williamson examines mob politics, the “beast with many heads” that haunts social media and what currently passes for real life. It’s destroying our capacity for individualism and dragging us down “the Road to Smurfdom, the place where the deracinated demos of the Twitter age finds itself feeling small and blue.”
The Smallest Minority is by no means a memoir, though Williamson does reflect on that “tawdry little episode” with The Atlantic in which he became all too intimately acquainted with mob outrage and the forces of tribalism. Rather, this book is a tour through a world where social media dictates the national conversation. With biting appraisals of social media, political hustlers, journalists, and identity politics, The Smallest Minority is a funny and insightful book about the society we have created.
