Summary of Christopher Wylie's Mindf*ck

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I am brought into a restricted area where the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence meets. The walls are paneled in dark wood, and the air smells old and stale. The guards confiscate our phones and other electronics, and give us numbered tickets.

#2 I was in Washington to testify about how Cambridge Analytica, a military contractor, developed psychological warfare tools for the American alt-right. I had brought with me evidence that Facebook’s data was weaponized by the firm.

#3 I was a whistleblower, and the result was the largest data crime investigation in history. I provided evidence that tied Cambridge Analytica to Donald Trump, Facebook, Russian intelligence, international hackers, and Brexit.

#4 I was called before Parliament for a live public hearing, and I gave my story to the world. Every screen was a mirror reflecting it back at me. I began to receive threats, so I had to hire bodyguards to protect me.
