Description



About the Book



Danny Wallace, million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me, has fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation. He asks: can you do anything to stop it - even with the truth on your side?



Book Synopsis



Bestselling author Danny Wallace (Yes Man and Join Me) takes on the modern epidemic of lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation to find out if truth has a chance in the fight.

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.



Review Quotes




"A rollicking ride through conspiracism, disinformation, and the madness of our current trust crisis that's both universal and deeply personal. Written with equal parts compassion and befuddled shock, the stories in Somebody Told Me... will instantly be familiar to anyone who has lost a loved one to conspiracy theories, wellness quackery, or unhinged paranoia."

"Wallace spotlights nutty theories on everything from 5G to Princess Kate, dissecting with fine comic irony the hucksterism that underlies many of them... an entertaining survey of what's addling public discourse."

"Wallace's book is a crucial guidebook to navigating the daily morass of deception and disinformation that pervades modern American society."
