When Donald Trump entered the White House in January 2017, America's sprawling subculture of conspiracy theorists suddenly gained access to the most powerful man in the world. Over the years, Trump had schmoozed with everyone from climate change deniers to rabid white nationalists to anti-Obama 'birthers': suddenly, to understand the news, you needed to understand conspiracies. In this book, Anna Merlan goes deep inside this secretive world and unearths its most bizarre, enthralling and terrifying stories. She mingles with the outlandish sect which claims that death is just a lifestyle choice - even though their founder died in 2014. She jumps aboard the 'Conspira Sea', where the most extreme fringes of the conspiracy world get together for a cruise holiday.
