In this course

E. J. Dickson appears in the course readings as a journalist documenting the emergence of QAnon as a cultural and political phenomenon, particularly its classification as a domestic terrorism threat by the FBI. The citation functions primarily as a contemporary news source tracking how conspiracy theory communities respond to official security designations, enabling Davies and others to examine the mechanics of paranoia and alternate reality games as they manifest in real-world radicalization contexts. Dickson's work provides grounding for theoretical discussions about how game-like narratives and distributed conspiracy-building operate outside traditional game spaces, blurring boundaries between play, belief, and potential harm.
