In his book "Conspiracy Theories of the 21st Century," Velimir Grgić takes readers on an exciting journey through the labyrinth of contemporary disinformation. With a focus on the digital age, Grgić dissects the phenomenon of conspiracy theories, revealin
The author begins with the coronavirus pandemic, where stories about 5G networks causing the disease are spreading, continues with QAnon, whose followers believe in a secret elite, and touches on bizarre claims such as the one that birds have been replaced by drones. Each story, no matter how absurd, has its roots in real fears and mistrust.
Grgić masterfully connects contemporary misconceptions with historical examples, such as the panic during the Spanish flu when people blamed aspirin or telegraph poles. The Internet and social media, he explains, act as catalysts, turning a whisper into a global cry. He dwells in particular on QAnon, whose peak was the 2021 Capitol Hill raid, illustrating how conspiracy theories can move from the virtual to the real world with disastrous consequences.
Through a humorous and accessible style, Grgić not only entertains, but also educates, offering tools for critical thinking. The book is a call to vigilance in a world where truth often loses the battle against fear and manipulation.
