Somebody Told Me Zusammenfassung

Somebody Told Me: One Mans Unexpected Journey Down the Rabbit Hole of Lies, Trolls and Conspiracies Danny Wallace

'Shocking, timely and - as youd expect from Danny Wallace - very funny' - Adam Kay

'Thrilling, thought-provoking, funny and wise. Danny has an incredible knack for taking the bizarre fringes and rabbit holes of humanity and making them compulsively laugh-out-loud readable.' - Danny Robins, journalist, presenter of Uncanny and writer of 2:22 A Ghost Story

'Danny Wallace lightens this dark topic about lies and propaganda with his trademark humour and gets the balance just right' BBC, Books to Read in 2024

Have you been keeping your eye on your grandma lately? Have you been calling her enough? You sure shes not spending too much time on YouTube? Is she talking fondly of dictators? Has she suddenly started quietly muttering in the Aldi queue about the Jewish Space Lasers shes heard are setting wildfires around the world to make sure everyone believes in climate change? When was the moment the world began to believe anything?

Danny Wallace, million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me, has fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation. Along the way, he encounters families torn apart by accusations and fake news, journalists putting themselves on the frontline of the disinformation war, reformed conspiracy theorists, influencers who see profit in stoking paranoia, and the shadowy nameless, faceless trolls on the other side of our screens. He discovers how disinformation and well-told lies can ruin a year or a whole life, how they can affect our family, our street, our community. How they can spread across a country, a continent, even the world. How they take hold of our imaginations and make us feel both helpless and powerful.

And Danny asks: can you do anything to stop it even with the truth on your side?

Somebody Told Me Bewertungen

Shocking, timely and - as youd expect from Danny Wallace - very funny. * Adam Kay *
Essential. One of the few books Ive immediately told my children to read. * Alex Horne, author and comedian *
Fascinating, hilarious and touching. Often all at once. * John Niven, bestselling author of O Brother and Kill Your Friends *
This is a Danny Wallace book and it is therefore brilliant. He is not capable of writing a dull sentence or a pointless chapter or something that lacks either depth or wit. Certainly if he does any of that in this book, I couldnt find it. And thats no lie. * Daniel Finkelstein *
Thrilling, thought-provoking, funny and wise. Danny has an incredible knack for taking the bizarre fringes and rabbit holes of humanity and making them compulsively laugh-out-loud readable. * Danny Robins, journalist, presenter of Uncanny and writer of 2:22 A Ghost Story *
