Messing with the Enemy is a nonfiction analysis of modern information warfare by Clint Watts, a former FBI special agent and counterterrorism expert. Written for a broad audience, the book examines how social media, online platforms, and digital networks have changed the way propaganda, recruitment, deception, and influence operations work. Rather than treating the internet as a neutral communication tool, Watts argues that it has become an environment where hostile actors can manipulate attention, exploit emotional responses, and spread falsehoods at scale. The book draws on his experience engaging with extremist communities, foreign operatives, and online manipulators to show how these tactics operate in practice. It is both a warning and a guide, aimed at helping readers understand how hackers, terrorists, Russian disinformation networks, and other bad actors use digital systems to shape public perception and political behavior.
