A Times Book of the Week – “Uproarious… [Phillips and Elledge] pair the abundant good humour of this book with a warning about the corrosive effects of conspiracy theories”
From the real story of the Illuminati, to the conspiracy theories that always accompany pandemics – via UFOs, Britney Spears and the possibility that three centuries of European history were a hoax – Conspiracy traces how beliefs that cause havoc in our world today, such as QAnon and Covid conspracies, often have long, surprising and extremely weird backstories.
In Conspiracy, Tom Phillips and Jonn Elledge take us on a fascinating, insightful and often hilarious journey through conspiracy theories old and new, to try and answer a vital question for our times: how can we learn to log off the QAnon message boards, and start trusting hard evidence again?
