Summary

"Make a 'fun investment'... do something pointless that tickles you in some way"

Danny Wallace is a bestselling author, as well as a BAFTA, Arqiva and Sony-winning performer and presenter. His first book, Join Me, was the true story of a man who created a cult by accident. His second book, Yes Man – in which he decided to say ‘Yes’ to everything – became a hugely successful film with Jim Carrey in the lead role. Now, he's fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation, with his new book: Somebody Told Me: One Man’s Unexpected Journey Down the Rabbit Hole of Lies, Trolls and Conspiracies.
