This book gave me a better understanding of how we form our believes of what's truth and what isn't, and how this became so troublesome today with the advent of social media.
SpoilerIt concludes that the way our political system deals with intentional spread of misinformation is broken and is in urgent need of changes. Also that it's naive to expect for false beliefs to be naturally filtered through political/social debate, which is not plausible because the same process we go through to try and reach a true belief as an individual is the same that ends up causing the mass spread of misinformation at a bigger scale.

Admirable attempt to clarify and explain the nature and ways of misinformation; solid epistemological analysis and copious amounts of relevant case studies.

Wish it had been less math-y 'cause it is interesting how/why people believe wrong information and then double down on it.
