My Last Book of Conspiracy Theories: Improbable Events + Sinister Situations (My Last Book #1)

by Ryan Patrick, Jamie Leo

Overview

Government Cover-ups! Illegal Experiments! Aliens Among Us!

In My Last Book of Conspiracy Theories, the creators of the Dystopomart Survivorium Maxicatalog offer an easy-to-digest intro to secret plots, covert government groups, and other underexplained events that have seized the imagination of people around the world.

From FEMA, the CIA, and NASA, to UFO enthusiasts and Christian apocalypticists, a network of powerful self-appointed individuals have been waging a top-secret war against the People of Earth. Using their power, wealth, and religious dogma, these subversive people and organizations have kept major events secret from an unknowing population, feeding disinformation and propaganda to cover up and manipulate governments and organizations. Scientists, politicians, and the military have all been accused of being complicit in concealing events, using fake news and alternative reality campaigns either for criminal enterprise, flagrant disregard of the law, or even just a villainous pursuit of power.

My Last Book of Conspiracy Theories gives a brief introduction to 19 of the most prevalent theories of our time. Was the moon landing faked by NASA? Do alien beings live among us? And, who precisely is in charge of the United States government?

Each page introduces a conspiracy theory, along with amazing facts and images to illustrate the belief. The easy-to-follow accounts are accessible by younger readers, but the illustrations and subject matter are enjoyable for readers of all ages! Each page is crafted to inspire conversation, curiosity, and understanding.

My Last Book of Conspiracy Theories is part of the "My Last Book" series, a collection of interesting and unusual topics about the hidden corners of our world, mysteries of medicine and science, forgotten folklore, and more. Entertained readers will cherish the book, share it, and want to read it again and again.
