The Dead Internet Theory

What if the internet you know is no longer alive? In The Dead Internet Theory, author Nick Razer takes readers deep into one of the most unsettling conspiracies of the digital age—the claim that most of the internet is no longer run by people, but by bots, algorithms, and hidden actors who manipulate what we see, think, and believe. What began as an obscure theory whispered in online forums has grown into a chilling possibility: Is the content you consume authentic, or generated to control you? Are the interactions you have online with real people—or carefully designed illusions? Has the internet evolved into something far beyond human oversight? Razer traces the origins of the theory through its strange beginnings on anonymous boards, examines the rise of artificial intelligence and bot networks, and explores how corporate and governmental powers shape the flow of online information. Blending internet history, digital folklore, and speculative analysis, The Dead Internet Theory shines a light on a question too many are afraid to ask: What if we've already lost the internet—and never noticed? Whether you approach it with skepticism or curiosity, this book invites you to reexamine the web you interact with every day. Are you exploring a living network of human creativity—or wandering through the ghostly remains of something that died long ago? Perfect for fans of conspiracy theories, internet culture, and dystopian speculation, The Dead Internet Theory will change the way you see your screen forever.
