E. J. Dickson is cited in the course materials primarily as a cultural journalist documenting the emergence of QAnon as a documented terrorism threat and its paradoxical reception among conspiracy communities. Their work appears in Davies's examination of alternate reality games and paranoia, suggesting how the rhetorical structures of ARGs—designed as playful narrative experiences—become weaponized when folded into real-world conspiracy ecosystems. Dickson's reporting serves the course's argument about how digital architecture, gamification, and algorithmic amplification can blur the boundary between fiction and belief, making them essential to understanding how networked systems generate social instability.
