Influence and Manipulation

Adam Walton explores the science of influence and manipulation.

Adam Walton is joined by science writer Brian Clegg, whose new book, Brainjacking: The Science of Influence and Manipulation, asks what drives our behaviour, our impulses, and our decision-making. The book investigates everything from AI, to online privacy, subliminal messaging, and how to spot misinformation.

Produced by Stuart Russell.
