Michael Shermer presents an overarching review of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. Trust in conspiracy theories, he writes, cuts across gender, age, race, income, education level, occupational status—and even political affiliation.

But Shermer reveals that other factors are also in play: anxiety and a sense of loss of control, as well as certain personality traits.
