A journalist who specializes in conspiracy theories draws on interviews with QAnon converts and victims as well as psychologists, sociologists and academics to explain the origin and growth of the movement, its embrace by right-wing media and politicians and why it's important to understand it rather than mock it.
What The Reviewers Say
An American journalist specializing in technology and conspiracy theories, Rothschild has been investigating QAnon since 2018.
In clear, punchy prose Rothschild explains how the movement that started on a message board for white supremacists, antisemites and fans of hard-core porn moved into the mainstream.
The book examines the internet-based conspiracies that led to the assault on the Capitol in forensic detail.
Mike Rothschild cleverly traces a through-line from the Capitol riot back to QAnon.
