The Earth Is Flat: Why People Think So (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Why People Think the Earth Is Flat is a sharp, humorous, and insightful exploration of one of the most surprising belief movements of the modern era. Written with wit, empathy, and a cinematic sense of storytelling, the book tackles the Flat Earth phenomenon not by attempting to debunk physics, but by examining the humans behind the belief.

From late-night YouTube rabbit holes to meme-fueled online communities, the book reveals how ordinary people can be pulled into extraordinary ideas. Through satire mixed with genuine psychological insight, it shows how conspiracy thinking grows, why it appeals emotionally, and how social media supercharges fringe ideas into global trends.

Along the way, readers meet the movement's characters: influencers who speak with unwavering confidence, DIY "scientists" running experiments in backyards, and believers who struggle when theory collides with reality. Each chapter offers a comedic journey into the logic, lore, and cultural impact of Flat Earth thinking from the legendary Ice Wall to the cosmic Dome to the map disagreements that shake the community from within.

At its heart, the book isn't about the shape of the planet.
It's about the shape of the mind.

Smart, funny, and surprisingly revealing, Why People Think the Earth Is Flat invites readers to look beyond the conspiracy and understand what it reveals about curiosity, identity, community, and the deep human need for meaning in a confusing world.
