Hi there,
So I’m trying to find a book which gives me some insight as to why people believe in all the weird conspiracy theories, this is a lot more frequent these last couple of years (might be because of the internet that it may seem like it is, I don’t know) and I genuinely do not understand those people. So I want to get more information about why the people believe in those things, where it comes from and why it is gaining more popularity (at least it seems so).
Are there any books which discusses these things?
Thanks!

My first thought was [The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17349.The_Demon_Haunted_World?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=B5piU0WrXl&rank=1).
It’s probably a little dated these days (it’s almost 30 years old) but I found it to be an awesome introduction to skepticism.
