Everything is not as we are told: there is a hidden side of reality, a universe of secret plans and secret operations. This is a common way of thinking of people who tend not to trust official information. This is how legends are born about how it “really happened”: about the filming of the moon landing in the Arizona movie theater and the pharmaceutical lobby, about genetically modified products and the events of September 11, 2001, about the Egyptian pyramids, aliens, reptilians, political conspiracies and the new world order. But it is not necessarily poorly educated people and marginalized people who believe in fables; both presidents and Nobel laureates are powerless in the face of cospirology. In analyzing conspiracy theories and their consequences, Rob Brotherton, a leading expert on the psychology of conspiracy theories, does not try to understand what is fact and what is fiction. He is interested in why conspiracy theories are so attractive to us, and he finds an explanation in human nature. And the journey into our inner world is more fascinating than the most implausible stories of the world order.
