Religion, pseudoscience, 9/11 "truthers," creationists, anti-vaccers, pop-psychology, aliens, psychics, astrology, climate change, holocaust deniers; the list goes on and on. The Smiling Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is an exploration of the crazy things that some people believe, and the misinformation perpetuated by the mainstream and cult public. Those who see a psychic regularly, prescribe to alcoholism being a disease, avoid vaccinations for their children, read their horoscope, or believe that 9/11 was in inside job, could either learn a thing or two from this book, or quite possibly, this book could give them more fodder for their conspiracy rage. C. Allen Thompson once again paints a picture of an aspect of society that most of us would like to ignore, and, for whatever reason, so few of us are willing to challenge.
