Description:

The Web has vastly expanded access to knowledge for most people, but it has also expanded the opportunities for hoaxers of all kinds to publicise their drivel, whether it be rumours of celebrity deaths or denial of the Holocaust & pretty much anything in between. This book arms the surfer with hints & advice on how to spot the facts & how not to become duped by baseless conspiracy theories, downright lies & other mischief.
