This week, we introduce the Polis Project to our ScrollStack readers! Through their Research, Reportage, and Resistance approach, we publish and disseminate critical ideas that are excluded from the mainstream media. "Our work sheds light on the rise of authoritarianism especially in democracies and focuses on issues of racial, class and caste injustice, Islamophobia and state oppression around the world," the article states.

Meanwhile, Anisha Saigal reviews Squid Game. "It goes without saying that this cultural moment brought to us by Squid Game is going to unleash a plethora of K-dramas in the public domain at an unseen pace," she writes.

Chapter Twenty One: Digital War and Peace

When was the last time you heard the word Pegasus? The manner in which human beings consume information, the manner in which news organisations present it and the interests of many powerful stakeholders ensures that some developments in the world are removed from our attention, no matter how important they are for our safety. Pegasus may have vanished from your social media feeds, your newspapers and your TV news channels, but it remains a serious threat that many in the world continue to draw attention to.
