Summary

"The Bullshit Effect" explores the cognitive and structural mechanisms that allow misinformation to spread rapidly through modern society. The book identifies an inherent information imbalance, famously known as Brandolini's Law, which states that the energy required to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude greater than that needed to produce it.
