Rhetoric Case Study in Conspiracy Theories
Throughout the book is a recurring case study is used drawn from the Will Camden novel Confessions of a Professional Conspiracy Theorist. It is used to illustrate how belief in conspiracy theories is encouraged through the use of rhetoric.
The character of Michael Wright is a British ex-TV personality turned global conspiracy theorist and prophet of hidden truths.

Great little book giving a nice clear understanding on rhetoric speaking from public figures, and others such as conspiracy leaders. There’s a cool running story based on an example of a recognisable character from the author’s book called Confessions of a Professional Conspiracy Theorist.
