"I first thought about conspiracies when The X-Files came out on the screen," writes the author of this book, American researcher P. Knight. - It seemed to me that this film was specially launched for me, as if hinting that I would think of something very important." In the end, Knight decided to collect and analyze all the topics most familiar to the mass consciousness: the assassination of Kennedy, panic around world epidemics, the New World Order and others. His book became a kind of guide to "conspiracy theories," an attempt to understand conspiracy theories. She, according to Knight, is an inevitable response to the increasing globalization of the world, which causes a sense of anxiety and a desire to understand what is really happening.
