Black Pill
How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics
Book • 2024
In 'Black Pill,' Elle Reeve provides a comprehensive and unsettling look into the world of extreme right-wing movements.
Drawing from her extensive interviews with members of white nationalist groups and her access to previously unseen documents, Reeve takes readers on a journey from the darkest corners of the internet to the real-world manifestations of political violence.
The book explores the concept of 'black pill' thinking, characterized by a gleeful nihilism that justifies cruelty, intimidation, and violence.
Reeve's reporting is both terrifying and insightful, offering a necessary perspective on the current state of American politics and the threats to democracy.
