**[Click here to register](https://www.stadtakademie-muenchen.de/veranstaltung/hyperreaktiv/)** In her new book, Annekathrin Kohout explores social media as a world designed for the strongest possible reactions. **Only those who constantly judge, comment, share, or provoke intense interactions with their contributions are rewarded by algorithms—leading to severe consequences, even for debates beyond the platforms.** Using vivid case studies and theoretical reflections, Kohout reveals how analytical, forensic, and investigative methods are imitated on social media to deliberately spread disinformation and fuel polarization. **About Annekathrin Kohout** Annekathrin Kohout is a cultural scientist with a PhD and an independent author. She is co-editor of the book series "Digital Visual Cultures" published by Wagenbach Verlag and of the magazine ›POP. Kultur und Kritik‹. She writes a column on internet culture for ›taz‹.
