This was a pretty good book, I liked it a lot. It covers what is clearly a trend these days, conspiracy theories and the people that generate them. It goes over the major once, anti-vaxxers, UFO theorists, racists, and so on. This was published in Trump 1.0 but as we all see, Trump 2.0 hasn't changed much, if not worse. Overall the book is easy to read and follow, it's not intended to be a scientific breakthrough or dissertation, but plain language in order to understand the concepts of the book. While "old", it's still relevant today given the way conspiracy theories make their way into today's news cycle, and so on. 5 out of 5 stars.
