TikTok Heroes: In my Algorithm - Hardcover

In my book "Manual for Gorillas: 9 Rules to be the "fer-pect" Dictator", I published a 2018 study by the Bertelsmann Stiftung which concluded that a billion more people live under dictatorship now than was the case 15 years ago. The report further warned that growing restrictions on citizens' rights and legal standards were an acute problem in democracies.

This book compiles the profiles of those who the algorithm has kept in my TikTok feed, for the last months of 2024 and first trimester of 2025, as an exaltation to their self-sacrificing labor shedding light on the stuff the wanna be neo-Nazi dictator, would like to hold hiding from scrutiny.

If TikTok unilaterally decides or the dictatorship succeeds and gets them banned, I want to maintain published records of their achievements in pro of democracy and the education of those who refuse to read books, or just simply find themselves in search of current information and knowledge like me.

These TikTok heroes, are regular humans whom, from their own places, home, office, car, backyard, and just facing their camera phones, with no scripts, no filters, no post editions, no power strings attached, decided to rise their voices against the tyranny and become amplifiers and clear channels of fact checked information addressed to those who spent most of their time on social media.
