Description
Conspiracy theories are legion. Conspiracies are rare, and of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. This story is the exception. In 2016, media giant Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million court judgment over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan. The case was no accident: it was the result of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Facebook and PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel. With exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday takes readers behind the scenes of this extraordinary and at times surreal story, transforming the events into both a dissection of the controversial methodology of conspiracy and an eye-opening cautionary tale about the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age.
