„Heillandi og mikilvæg.“ Spectator
Á daginn starfar Julia Ebner hjá hugveitu sem vinnur gegn öfgahyggju og fylgist með róttækum hópum utan frá. Fyrir tveimur árum fannst henni hún þó aðeins sjá hálfa myndina; til að öðlast raunverulegan skilning á hópunum þyrfti hún að komast inn í þá.
Hún ákvað að vinna undir fölsku flaggi í frítíma sínum — á kvöldin, um helgar og í fríum. Hún tók sér fimm mismunandi gervi og gekk til liðs við tólf öfgahópa víðs vegar af hugmyndafræðilega litrófinu. Leið hennar lá frá alþjóðlegum stefnumótunarfundi Generation Identity á krá í Mayfair til tónlistarhátíðar nýnasista á landamærum Þýskalands og Póllands. Hún fékk sambandsráð frá „Trad Wives“ og brúðum vígamanna og kennslu í tölvuinnbrotum frá ISIS.
Hún fylgdist með samskiptarásunum þegar öfgahægrimenn tóku að skipuleggja hina mannskæðu samkomu í Charlottesville og dvaldi í tengslanetunum sem síðar áttu eftir að róttækivæða hryðjuverkamanninn í Christchurch. Í Going Dark leiðir Ebner lesandann í ómótstæðilega ferð inn í myrkustu afkima öfgafullrar hugmyndafræði. Hún afhjúpar hversu nærri okkur ofstækisfull hugmyndafræði þessara hópa er í daglegu lífi, hvernig eðli þeirra og starfshættir hafa breyst og hvað er gert til að sporna gegn þeim.
A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR'Engaging and visceral. . . Reads like a thriller' Financial Times'Riveting and often deeply disturbing. . . A punch to the stomach' Sunday Times'Ebner has done some gutsy, thought-provoking research' Sunday Telegraph'Fascinating and important' SpectatorBy day, Julia Ebner works at a counter-extremism think tank, monitoring radical groups from the outside. But two years ago, she began to feel she was only seeing half the picture; she needed to get inside the groups to truly understand them.
She decided to go undercover in her spare hours – late nights, holidays, weekends – adopting five different identities, and joining a dozen extremist groups from across the ideological spectrum. Her journey would take her from a Generation Identity global strategy meeting in a pub in Mayfair, to a Neo-Nazi Music Festival on the border of Germany and Poland. She would get relationship advice from 'Trad Wives' and Jihadi Brides and hacking lessons from ISIS.
She was in the channels when the alt-right began planning the lethal Charlottesville rally, and spent time in the networks that would radicalise the Christchurch terrorist. In Going Dark, Ebner takes the reader on a deeply compulsive journey into the darkest recesses of extremist thinking, exposing how closely we are surrounded by their fanatical ideology every day, the changing nature and practice of these groups, and what is being done to counter them.
