Kritik
"This book delves into the profound repercussions of living in a post-truth era, where misinformation runs rampant, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. ... Fake News in Contemporary Science and Politics is a revelation in this pivotal election year. ... Keith Moser is a fascinating writer. Prepare to be captivated by this masterful storytelling by a true artisan of the written word. Brace yourself ... sensational unraveling of misinformation intricacies that will challenge your perceptions and ignite your curiosity" (Suzie Housley, Midwest Book Review, midwestbookreview.com, Vol. 23 (8), August, 2024)

"When the conditions are right, there are ideas and concepts that ignite and burn with such intensity that they outshine any others of the same time period. Fake News in Contemporary Science and Politics presents a very good example ... The current volume is meant to send a wake-up call ... this constant transmission of information ad infinitum that may affect our existence on this planet and even lead to a misinterpretation of democracy and its basic grasp on reality" (Dan Manolescu, Journal of Critical Studies in Language and Literature, vol. 5 (5), 2024)

"In Fake News in Contemporary Science and Politics: A Requiem for the Real?, Keith Moser sheds light on the real-life consequences of the infodemic ... and offers us four enlightening revelations on the ubiquity of fake news and conspiracy theories ... in the larger context of the scientific and political realm. ... Moser's requiem for the post-truth era must be fully chanted as a counter-hegemonic prayer leading to the awareness of the 'real.'" (Kenichiro Otani, Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics, Vol. 47 (4), 2024)mehr
