Best-selling author Annalee Newitz explores the evolution of disinformation, propaganda, and violent threats from military tools into weapons of domestic culture wars. Tracing America's history with psychological operations from Benjamin Franklin's fake Revolutionary War newspaper to twenty-first-century election disinformation, Newitz reveals how coercive storytelling has been used to manipulate public perception.

Stories Are Weapons highlights the process of psychological disarmament, featuring Indigenous archivists preserving their histories, activist storytellers, and technology experts transforming social media. This book offers a powerful counter-narrative to the use of psychological warfare in today's cultural conflicts.
