Description
An entertaining book where humor intertwines with a warning about the harmful effects of conspiracy theories. From the author of the bestseller The History of Human Screw-Ups or What We Have All Messed Up ***** Whether it's satanic panic or the anti-vax movement, the moon landing or the Pizzagate scandal, we humans have always had a tendency to believe that the powerful are lying to us (and to be fair, sometimes they really are). However, while it’s fun to join a group chat and chat about chemtrails, recent events have shown us that some of these theories have begun to take on a life of their own – and that our relentless pursuit of truth can actually cause harm. ***** Tom Phillips and Jonn Elledge take us on a fascinating, insightful, and often humorous journey through the world of old and new conspiracy theories, attempting to answer the key question of our time: How do we unsubscribe from internet forums discussing QAnon and start believing in hard evidence again?
