The Encyclopedia of Misinformation: A Compendium of Imitations, Spoofs, Delusions, Simulations, Counterfeits, Impostors, Illusions, Confabulations, ... Conspiracies & Miscellaneous Fakery

How have theÂ media, government,Â technology, and history deceived us? Have fake and real become indistinguishable?Â Were we ever unburdened of disinformation, or is deception boundÂ to the human experience? Are we being manipulated right now, or worse yet, are we deceivingÂ ourselves?Â
Â
These are the provocative questions withinÂ The Encyclopedia of Misinformation, a compendium of deception and delusion throughout history. In a frolicking series of vignettes, authorÂ Rex SorgatzÂ saunters through propaganda and subterfuge in eclectic contexts, including science and religion, comedy and law, sports and video games.
Â
Slingshotting through conspiracy theories, internet and popular culture, and perplexing psychological phenomena, this compendium illuminates deliriouslyÂ diverse subjects: Artificial Intelligence, Auto-Tune, Chilean Sea Bass, Claques, Clickbait, Cognitive Dissonance, Cryptids, Dark Matter,Â False Flag Operations, Gaslighting, Gerrymandering, Kayfabe, Laugh Tracks, Milli Vanilli, Phantom Time Hypothesis, Photoshopping, Potemkin Villages, Rachel Dolezal, Strategery, Truthiness, and the Uncanny Valley.Â
Â
Encyclopedic in scope, but with an incisive voice tuned to these bedevilingÂ times, this is the modern reference book to engage a world rife with artifice and deception.
