ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MISINFORMATION(Hardcover, Illustrated)
DetailsSummaryIn a universe of alternative facts, The Encyclopedia of Fakery is an essential reference Fakery is not simply defined as things that aren't real. Fakery comprises things that aren't real, of course, but fakery also encompasses things that manipulate perception (such as the Tupac Hologram), made-up things that have come to have real meaning over time (such as the word strategery), and, of course, straight fakes (such as art forgeries and counterfeit money). The Encyclopedia of Fakery runs the gamut, including conspiracy theories, internet and popular culture, and unbelievable phenomena throughout history. Entries include Bitcoin, Blair Witch Project, a Claque, a Defictionalized Product, Donald Trump, the Fourth Wall, The Hills, JFK Assassination, Milli Vanilli, Strategery, and the list goes on. With 50 illustrations and designed to mimic a traditional encyclopedia, this book will add new depth to how readers engage with the world around them-both real and fake.
