SOMEBODY TOLD ME - DANNY WALLACE KARTONIERT (TB)

'Shocking  timely and - as you'd expect from Danny Wallace - very funny' - Adam Kay 'Thrilling
thought-provoking  funny and wise. Danny has an incredible knack for taking the bizarre fringes
and rabbit holes of humanity and making them compulsively laugh-out-loud readable.' - Danny
Robins  journalist  presenter of Uncanny and writer of 2:22 A Ghost Story 'Danny Wallace
lightens this dark topic about lies and propaganda with his trademark humour and gets the
balance just right' - BBC  Books to Read in 2024 Have you been keeping your eye on your grandma
lately? Have you been calling her enough? You sure she's not spending too much time on YouTube?
Is she talking fondly of dictators? Has she suddenly started quietly muttering in the Aldi
queue about the Jewish Space Lasers she's heard are setting wildfires around the world to make
sure everyone believes in climate change? When was the moment the world began to believe
anything? Danny Wallace  million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me  has fallen
down the modern rabbit hole of lies  conspiracies and disinformation. Along the way  he
encounters families torn apart by accusations and fake news  journalists putting themselves on
the frontline of the disinformation war  reformed conspiracy theorists  influencers who see
profit in stoking paranoia  and the shadowy nameless  faceless trolls on the other side of our
screens. He discovers how disinformation and well-told lies can ruin a year or a whole life 
how they can affect our family  our street  our community. How they can spread across a country
a continent  even the world. How they take hold of our imaginations and make us feel both
helpless and powerful. And Danny asks: can you do anything to stop it - even with the truth on
your side?
