About this book

"A book every young person should read....it fosters freethinking, healthy skepticism, and it reminds us that we shouldn't easily accept everything we hear as truth " -New York Times

"A Brief History of Bullshit in America is a funny and easy to read book that examines the bullshit obsessed "post-truth era" of today and how we got here. It is filled with information, misinformation, disinformation, and any other sort of bullshit you can think of. If you consider yourself to be connoisseur of good bullshit, then you will love this book!" -Kirkus Review

Bullshit can be so many things. It could be anything from a degree in Gender Studies to something simple as a three-word campaign slogan, or even something as complicated as our nation's 6,550-page tax code. Political speeches, self-help books, marketing, press conferences, tax code, song lyrics, conspiracy theories, many college majors, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the multi-billion-dollar diet industry, medicine, and even the Constitution of the United States itself are all some form of bullshit in one way or another. Bullshit is everywhere all around us. It influences the clothes we wear, shapes our political views, and even determines what food we eat.

This book will examine some of the greatest bullshitters of all time and celebrate their accomplishments. Bullshitters are beautiful highly intelligent individuals, and they play a vital role in our world. They start almost all of our wars, make our drugs, sell us our cars, raise and lower our taxes, regulate our economy, they tell us what to wear, and in many instances what to believe. This book will also give you some basic bullshit strategies that you can use in your own life as well.

I suspect those NYT and Kirkus quotes are fake. I couldn't find those quotes on their websites.

I don't know what I'd call this an audiobook. It's auto narrated.

"Auto-narrated audiobooks use text-to-speech technology to create audio from an ebook.

These audiobooks use a digital voice to read ebooks. You might encounter:

Mispronounced words
Pauses in places that don't make sense
A mismatch between the tone or emotion of word pronunciations and the content"

I actually played a sample of the audiobook. All I can say is that Googles ai is pretty damn good. Sounds like a human 20 something male narrating. If I wasn't warned it was auto narrated I might not have known. Now whether the book is actually any good, I dunno, only played an except.

There is virtually no information about this author out there, except his other two, also strangely-titled books.

I would just assume he isn't a doctor of anything.

If presented in chronological order, the last chapter must make up at least half of the entire book.

If it endorsed by the New York Times then it is a bullshit book about bullshit.
