The misinformation age : how false beliefs spread

O'Connor, Cailin2020
Books
'The Misinformation Age', written for a political era riven by 'fake news,' 'alternative facts,' and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, shows convincingly that what you believe depends on who you know. If social forces explain the persistence of false belief, we must understand how those forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.
