Among the truthers
a journey into the growing conspiracist underground of 9/11 truthers, birthers, armageddonites, vaccine hysterics, Hollywood know-nothings and Internet addicts
by Jonathan Kay
"Since the JFK assassination, conspiracy thinking has proliferated, and the Internet has fostered the growth of numerous alternate conceptual worlds in which traditional media and academia have no authority. 9/11 was a death blow to the older consensual view of reality, and as a result, North Americans no longer inhabit one cognitive universe. What this means for the future of politics, and for our society at large, is at the heart of Among the Truthers"--Http://www.harpercollins.ca.
