Description

We live in a supposedly rational age, yet crazy ideas are increasingly mainstream. New Age peddlers claim to cure Aids with vitamin tablets. Media gatekeepers stoke panic and regurgitate corporate press releases in the name of balance. There are plenty of people offering to help, from smiling high-street Scientologists offering Free Personality Testing to friendly financiers suggesting we consolidate all our existing loans into one easy monthly payment. We can buy ourselves a skinny latte 24 hours a day. But who can we trust User-friendly, enjoyable and shot through with polemic, Richard Wilson's book cuts through this miasma of nonsense and searches for a positive solution. There really is only one way out get sceptical, now!

Reviews

Reviews for his first book, 'Titanic Express': "'Incredibly moving' Ziauddin Sardar, Independent 'An astonishing chronicle' Bronwen Maddox, The Times 'I have watched in growing admiration how, with dogged persistence, Richard Wilson has conducted a singular crusade, not just to bring his sister's murderers to justice, but to understand who they were and why they killed her.' Jon Swain, Sunday Times"
