Book Club Resources
These materials support thoughtful, constructive discussion about political memes, misinformation, social media habits, and the responsibility that comes with sharing.
Suggested discussion frame: This book is not about never sharing political content. It is about learning when a meme informs, when it manipulates, and when slowing down protects the truth.
