This was very reminiscent of Max Fischer's "The Chaos Machine", which I read in 2023. The biggest difference (other than this being more recent) is that DiResta is personally involved in the fight against disinformation (through her work at Stanford), whereas Fischer treated the subject with his New York Times hat firmly secured on his head. The result is both interesting, as firsthand accounts can be, and a bit less compelling because of the perceived victimization. The history of "influencing" as a means of spreading information was probably the most interesting part of the book for me. The Russian troll farms, Gamergate and the 2020 elections felt more cobbled together and/or already over-analyzed.
