The Theory of Everything Else by Dan Schreiber

adventurous informative lighthearted fast-paced

2.5

Theory of Everything Else feels, more than almost any other book I’ve read this year, like it was designed for people on toilet seats. Jam-packed with useless trivia that doesn’t amount to much more than a collection of curiosities, the book is entertaining, but fails to coalesce around its own stated goal of taking conspiracy theories and “batshit” (Schreiber’s catchall term for esoterica) seriously as modes of understanding the world.
