Summary: Among the Truthers

Exploring the rise of conspiracy theories in America, this summary delves into Jonathan Kay's investigation of the conspiracist underground. It examines the psychology behind belief in conspiracy theories, the impact of the internet on their spread, and the cultural consequences of a society increasingly skeptical of mainstream narratives. Kay's journey reveals the motivations of those who embrace these ideas and critiques the implications for public discourse and democracy. The work provides insight into a significant aspect of contemporary American society.
