Rezensionen

'This book will change the way you see the world and could change the world itself. It reads like a thriller, full of stories and facts that would be beyond belief if it wasn't for the exceptional and rigorous journalism throughout. This is a very rare and important book, and it's also really, really funny. You will not be able to put it down' Chris van Tulleken, bestselling author of Ultra-Processed People
