Based on the excerpts, Cullen Hoback appears to be a documentarian or researcher focused on QAnon and conspiracy narratives in digital spaces, though he functions here primarily as a passing reference within a broader discussion of information ecosystems and polarization. The citations suggest his work examines how QAnon operates as both a narrative phenomenon and a social organizing force—specifically how it generates polarization that serves strategic political ends rather than merely spreading literal falsehoods. In the course's frame, his analysis would be relevant to understanding how cybernetic feedback loops, algorithmic amplification, and networked communities create self-reinforcing informational architectures that blur boundaries between play, performance, and political reality.
