Description
"A rollicking ride through conspiracism, disinformation, and the madness of our current trust crisis thats 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." ~Mike Rothschild, author of Jewish Space Lasers and The Storm is Upon Us
“Wallace’s book is a crucial guidebook to navigating the daily morass of deception and disinformation that pervades modern American society.” ~Booklist
"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 whats addling public discourse." ~Publishers Weekly
