I enjoyed this book. I found the writing to be crisp and clear. The authors used a lot of real-life examples which made the information easy to grasp. Some of the writing is particularly witty, making the book a pleasure to read. The authors also did a great job of explaining how science works. Overall this is a highly worthwhile read. Thank you to Netgalley and ECW Press for the advance reader copy.

It's clear that the authors know their stuff, which I always appreciate in a nonfiction read. This toolkit for critical thinking in an era where we don't see a lot of that is a very welcome addition to anyone's library. I appreciated how the authors dissected the mechanics behind wild theories instead of just making fun of them. Their background in sociology, history, philosophy and literary critiques all serve them well here. This was definitely a great read.

This is an informative, accessible read, with content that even those most steeped in conspiracy theory history will learn from and appreciate. It's not overly academic by any means, despite the authors' credentials, which is a huge plus.

I really loved this book. I thought it was clear and concise, understandable for people new to the topic while still being informative and entertaining to those that weren’t. I enjoyed the segmentation, topics covered, great breakdown across everything and honestly just kept looking forward to when I could pick it up next. I will admit I’m biased because I’m fascinated by the topic but I really recommend it, particularly if you’re interested in disinformation and misinformation in today’s current ages and how conspiracies spread.

Thank you to NetGalley and ECW Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!
