This book explores the relationship between digital media systems and post-truth politics, proposing an interactionist methodology to understand system complexity and the role of hypertext in shaping emergent digital-politics. It demonstrates how the principles of system interactionism can guide research into polarisation and political language.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between digital media systems and the emergence of post-truth politics. It compellingly argues that the complexity of modern systems poses a significant existential challenge to our understanding and research of these critical issues. In response, the author presents a novel theory for studying complexity, which distinguishes it from established ideas such as assemblage and actor network theories. By examining the social system of Niklas Luhmann, the author proposes an interactionist methodology that is better equipped to navigate the complexities of system interactions.

The book provides a detailed description of the logical operations of both digital and political systems, laying the foundation for an analysis of the role of hypertext in shaping the emergent digital-politics. Through its insightful exploration, the book demonstrates how the principles of system interactionism can guide digital media research into the phenomena of polarisation and political language. This insightful work offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics between digital media systems and the evolving landscape of post-truth politics, making it a must-read for scholars, researchers, and policymakers alike.
