'A fascinating, in-depth investigation into the complex landscape
of misinformation from someone who has spent his career trying to
combat fake news' Angela Saini One of the world's top experts on
fighting misinformation reveals the psychology behind its power -
and how we can protect ourselves. From fake news to conspiracy
theories, from pandemics to politics, misinformation may be the
defining problem of our era. Like a virus, misinformation infects
our minds - altering our beliefs and replicating at astonishing
rates. Once the virus takes hold, our primary strategies of
fact-checking and debunking are an insufficient cure. In Foolproof
Sander van der Linden describes how to inoculate yourself and
others against the spread of misinformation, discern fact from
fiction and push back against methods of mass persuasion. Everyone
is susceptible to fake news. There are polarising narratives in
society, conspiracy theories are rife, fake experts dole out
misleading advice and accuracy is often lost in favour of
sensationalist headlines. So how and why does misinformation spread
if we're all aware of its existence? And, more importantly, what
can we do about it? Sander van der Linden takes us through the
psychology of conspiratorial thinking and equips us with the eleven
antigens needed to help stop the spread of misinformation once and
for all.
