Unproven, unlikely, and firmly believed : why we fall for history's most seductive conspiracy theories and how we rediscover reality ; Tom Phillips and John Elledge.
"From skepticism about the moon landing o the "deep-state" claims of QAnon, 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 technology has given conspiracies a new power over national discourse, and in our dogged quest for the truth, we might actually be doing it some damage. In Unproven, Unlikely, and Firmly Believed, internationally bestselling authors Tom Phillips and John Elledge take us on an eye-opening journey through history's greatest conspiracy theories, to try and answer a vital question for our times: How can we learn to start trusting hard evidence again?" -- Back cover.
