'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?
