From the creator of the smash hit podcast, a riveting deep dive into the roots of Q Anon, the rise of the extreme right in the US, a democracy in mortal peril - and the strange fascination conspiracy theories continue to hold for all of us.

'A grand and somewhat terrifying narrative of misfits, misinformation and manipulation' - The Guardian

'A magnificent storyteller' - The Telegraph

'Gabriel goes down our dark American rabbit hole armed with nothing but his very British charm. He comes out with a story that is revelatory, scary, and brilliantly told.' - Jon Stewart

Is this how democracy dies?

The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse's brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories became weaponised and used as wrecking balls to the liberal world order. As Donald Trump lays siege to the institutions of the American state, Gatehouse traces the roots of a radical new political movement. Winding his way from the early years of the Clinton administration into the murky depths of the 6 January storming of the US Capitol and beyond, The Coming Storm reveals a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists preparing the ground for a period of epochal change. Behind the chaos and the bombast, at the nexus of politics and new technology, democracy is becoming a thing of the past. On the cusp of a new era, Gatehouse peers into our imminent future, where a group of Silicon Valley titans have hijacked power, even reality itself.
