They recognized Rafael's account of toxic politics. This book is both an unflinching account of the disease in our politics and an upbeat look for the cure.

The story involves encounters with politicians, internet trolls, tech giants, Kremlin-sponsored robots, some neuroscientists and a lot of ordinary voters. It is also a personal journey, charting how one heart failed under the weight of broken politics-and how it recovered.
