In a world flooded with fake news, clickbait, and manipulated narratives, how do we separate truth from deception? This book takes you on a journey through the murky waters of modern media and politics, exposing the tactics used to misinform and divide us.

From Orwellian levels of doublespeak to the rise of AI-generated propaganda, Unmasking Deception offers a no-nonsense, deeply critical look at how we got here - and how we can fight back. Drawing on history, psychology, and the author's two decades of media experience, this guide arms readers with the tools to spot manipulation, challenge disinformation, and build bridges in an ever increasingly polarised world.

Packed with real-world examples, practical takeaways, and sharp insights, this book is not just a call to action - it’s a toolkit for anyone ready to champion truth in an era of misinformation and lies.

Knowledge is power. Action is freedom. It’s time to unmask the lies.
