About the Book: This book examines anger as one of humanity’s most powerful emotions, capable of building silently for years before erupting with life-altering consequences. Tracing its influence from personal relationships to global conflicts, it explores how modern online platforms now reward outrage, with social media algorithms amplifying inflammatory content-reflected in ‘rage bait’ being named the Oxford Dictionary’s 2025 Word of the Year. The book considers anger’s historical and contemporary power, and how understanding it might help us manage its consequences today.
