Conspiracy Theory Culture : The Interviews: The House of Mystery Presents: Book 5

Alan R. Warren

Volume 5 of the House of Mystery Interviews Series will focus on theories that contradict the scientific facts we have learned over many generations of the human race. There is something uniquely intriguing about a good conspiracy theory. They tell tales of heroes, villains, and alternative realities. Conspiracy theories represent secret knowledge: real or not, and there is something very pleasing about having supposed insider knowledge. Because of their entertainment value, you can find conspiracy theories everywhere. Implausibility doesn’t make conspiracy theories less entertaining. What if the moon landing was faked? Who would have been involved? How could they have pulled it off, and why? What if a celestial lid encapsulates the Earth? What if the infamous leader of the Third Reich escaped Germany? What if President Franklin Roosevelt had allowed the Pearl Harbor attacks to happen? These are a few of the conspiracy theories discussed in this volume. Like the others in this series, this book will cover the most popular conspiracies – those that have gained significant traction in the media and on the internet. Some of them even have celebrity followers. During the interviews, guests were shown the utmost respect as we sought to understand their reasoning for holding their beliefs and how they developed them.
