The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: How to Know What's Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake

It is intimidating and sometimes even terrifying to realize that we live in a world that is now overflowing with misinformation. When even our authority lies to us and Google results are packed with paid deceptions, The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is here to help be your map in this maze of modern life. Here, you will learn the tenets of skeptical thinking and be informed about some of the biggest "scientific" myths - including anti-vaccines, homeopathy, and N-rays. Equipped with the skills to differentiate between science and pseudoscience, you will then learn how to combat the sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking of your peers. Armed with facts and critical thinking, this is the perfect book for anyone who wants to separate fact from fiction - or anyone who at least doesn't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist when arguing with crazy.
