'Uproarious . . . [Phillips and Elledge] pair the abundant good humour of this book with a
warning about the corrosive effects of conspiracy theories' The Times From the Satanic Panic to
the anti-vax movement the moon landing to Pizzagate it's always been human nature to believe
we're being lied to by the powers that be (and sometimes to be fair we absolutely are). But
while it can be fun to indulge in a bit of Deep State banter on the group chat recent times
have shown us that some of these theories have taken on a life of their own - and in our dogged
quest for the truth it appears we might actually be doing it some damage. In Conspiracy Tom
Phillips and Jonn Elledge take us on a fascinating insightful and often hilarious journey
through conspiracy theories old and new to try and answer a vital question for our times: how
can we learn to log off the QAnon message boards and start trusting hard evidence again?
