The biggest conspiracy theories

The natural environment for conspiracy theories in social media, where anyone can reach a large audience. The lack of quality control of information on the network means that misinformation catches the wind in its sails. This practice is often driven by fake accounts or "bots". From the assumption that the Titanic never sank, through groups that want to dominate the world from the shadows, pharmaceutical conspiracies, the Illuminati, and the concealment of evidence by governments, everything lends itself to developing a conspiracy theory, when the truth does not appear clear and forceful. From time immemorial to the present day, people have invented conspiracy theories that explain everything: from the failure of Roman politics to the assassination of Kennedy, from the origin of the plague to the development of autism. From a distance of several centuries, these theories often seem absurd and sometimes even comical. In addition, some of them have caused thousands and even millions of human victims. Why did people invent them? This book is about them, showing us the main conspiracy theories that have emerged over time, and that is in good health today.
