Summary

Slingshotting through conspiracy theories, internet and popular culture, and perplexing psychological phenomena, this compendium illuminates deliriously diverse subjects, such as Auto-Tune, Chilean sea bass, cryptids, dark matter, gerrymandering, laugh tracks, phantom time hypothesis, sexual conversion therapy, and Truthiness. Encyclopedic in scope, but with an incisive voice tuned to these bedeviling times, this is the modern reference book to engage a world rife with artifice and deception
