We’re in a whistle-blower moment. An administration truth-teller has helped ignite an impeachment investigation. Another whistle is allegedly perched on the lips of someone at the IRS, who might report damaging information about the president’s tax return. Edward Snowden’s book has hit the bestseller lists.

The moment is seemingly perfect for Christopher Wylie, the former head of research for Cambridge Analytica, and his new book Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And the Plot To Break America. The back-flap biography says that Wylie “has been called the millennials’ first great whistleblower.” The quote seems to have come from his personal Boswell, the Guardian and Observer writer Carole Cadwalladr, who is neither a millennial nor unbiased. Wylie, after all, was Cadwalladr’s Deep Throat, the main source for her Pulitzer-nominated exposé of the company that exploited ill-gotten Facebook data to campaign for Donald Trump.
