really interesting reflections on a foundational layer of our society. brilliant selection of imagery, the chosen details of each chart are art within themselves.

a note on the afterword - "one does not simply" famously comes from lord of the rings, not game of thrones. lorusso got his sean beans confused.

BEST BOOK EVER WTF literally the perfect book at the perfect time

This was a great read. I love how Bramanti connects the fields of conspiracy theory and information design and looks for a common ground. It made me look at my work differently and I got inspired to make my network visualizations more freely. In the end, information design aims to spread information in a group. Conspiracy theorists do the same thing, and do so quite well.

Succinct, incisive, and readable. Extremely relevant and a great paradigm for looking at the subject matters. One of the best nonfiction reads of my year.
