Somebody told me...: one man's unexpected journey down the rabbit hole of lies, trolls and conspiracies
(Book)
Description
Have your loved ones been pulled into the rabbit hole of online conspiracies? Are they spouting strange theories about secret cabals or admiring authoritarian leaders? How did we become so vulnerable to false beliefs? Wallace's eye-opening investigation explores the ripple effects of misinformation-meeting families torn apart, journalists on the frontlines, reformed conspiracy believers, influencers cashing in on fear, and the faceless trolls spreading lies. He reveals how disinformation not only devastates lives but divides communities and reshapes nations. False narratives seize our imaginations, leaving us feeling both powerless and oddly energized. With trademark wit and keen insight, Wallace delivers a timely, thought-provoking exploration that will make you question everything you think you know about truth in the digital age.
