Published: Oct. 2, 2019, 2:11 p.m.

Andrew Marantz is a staff writer at The New Yorker. His new book is Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation.\n\n\n\n\u201cSome nonfiction can be reduced to a bulletpoint primer, but a good book is a good book. Whether it\u2019s fiction or nonfiction, it should create a feeling, it should create a world, it should be a feeling that you want to live in and that tilts the way you see things. Isn\u2019t that the point?\u201d\n\n\n\nThanks to Mailchimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n@andrewmarantz\n\n\nandrewmarantz.com\n\n\nMarantz on Longform\n\n\n[01:34] Antisocial (Random House \u2022 2019)\n\n\n[03:13] Marantz's Tour Schedule\n\n\n[11:54] Longform Podcast #193: Robin Marantz Henig\n\n\n[18:58] \u201cA Rising Tide\u201d(Harper's \u2022 2011)\n\n\n[19:00] \u201cMy Summer at an Indian Call Center\u201d(Mother Jones \u2022 2011)\n\n\n[27:20] \u201cHow Silicon Valley Nails Silicon Valley\u201d(New Yorker \u2022 2016)\n\n\n[27:58] \u201cReady for Prime Time\u201d(New Yorker \u2022 2016)\n\n\n[28:03] \u201cThe Virologist\u201d(New Yorker \u2022 2014)\n\n\n[39:31] \u201cTrolls For Trump\u201d(New Yorker \u2022 2016)\n\n\n[40:22] \u201cA Voice of Hate in America's Heartland\u201d(New York Times \u2022 2017)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
