Non-fiction

Have you heard that Bill Gates is running a secret genocidal plot? That the war in Ukraine isn't real? Or that people are paid to act out some of the worst attacks imaginable?

In Among the Trolls, BBC journalist Marianna Spring meets the people spreading online conspiracy theories - and their victims. Far from a few lone wolves, she uncovers a staggering network of true believers and conspiracy influencers engaged in an international information war. Based on first-hand interviews and original reporting, this eye-opening and unforgettable book reveals the human stories behind the fake accounts.
