-epub version Among the Truthers: A Journey through America\'s Growing Conspiracist Underground From left-wing 9/11 conspiracy theorists to right-wing Obama-hating \"birthers\"â€”a sobering, eyewitness look at how America\'s marketplace of ideas is fracturing into a multitude of tiny, radicalized boutiquesâ€”each peddling its own brand of paranoia Throughout most of our nation\'s history, the United States has been bound together by a shared worldview. But the 9/11 terrorist attacks opened a rift in the collective national psyche: Increasingly, Americans are abandoning reality and retreating to Internet-based fantasy worlds conjured into existence out of our own fears and prejudices. The most disturbing symptom of this trend is the 9/11 Truth movement, whose members believe that Bush administration officials engineered the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a pretext to launch wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But these \"Truthers\" are merely one segment of a vast conspiracist subculture that includes many other groups: anti-Obama extremists who believe their president is actually a foreign-born Manchurian Candidate seeking to destroy the United States from within; radical alternative-medicine advocates who claim that vaccine makers and mainstream doctors are conspiring to kill large swathes of humanity; financial neo-populists who have adapted the angry message of their nineteenth-century forebears to the age of Twitter; Holocaust deniers; fluoride phobics; obsessive Islamophobes; and more. May 2011 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Format: Hardcover 368pp
