"Shocking, timely and - as you'd expect from Danny Wallace - very funny" - Adam Kay. "Thrilling, thought-provoking, funny and wise. Danny has an incredible knack for taking the bizarre fringes and rabbit holes of humanity and making them compulsively laugh-out-loud readable." - Danny Robins. "Danny Wallace lightens this dark topic about lies and propaganda with his trademark humour and gets the balance just right" - BBC. Have you been keeping an eye on your grandma? Are you sure she's not spending too much time on YouTube or talking fondly of dictators? Has she mentioned "Jewish Space Lasers" in the Aldi queue? When did the world start believing anything? Danny Wallace, bestselling author, explores the modern landscape of lies, conspiracies, and disinformation. He meets families torn apart by fake news, journalists on the frontlines of the disinformation war, reformed conspiracy theorists, and influencers profiting from paranoia. He uncovers how disinformation can ruin lives and communities, spreading across countries and continents, taking hold of our imaginations and making us feel both helpless and powerful. Ultimately, Danny questions whether it's possible to combat this tide of misinformation, even with the truth on your side.
