The long-form case file.

The book expands the website into a structured narrative: where the meme came from, how to test evidence, why conspiracy narratives are compelling, what research says about misinformation, and how to build stronger source habits without becoming cynical about every institution.

Inside the book

Proposed structure.

This section can be updated as the manuscript develops.

Part I

The joke becomes a theory

Internet folklore, meme culture, ambiguity, virality and the mechanics of an unfalsifiable premise.

Part II

Test the world

Satellites, geology, climate, population, trade, diplomacy, travel and independent verification.

Part III

Test yourself

Misinformation, reasoning, repetition, source literacy, corrections, prebunking and uncertainty.

How Stripe is wired into the site

The purchase button is already connected to the website’s Stripe configuration. Once a real Stripe Payment Link is created, its URL is pasted into config.js. The buyer is then sent to Stripe’s hosted checkout. This keeps sensitive card data away from the static website.

Still needed before sales go live: the final book price, currency, whether it is physical or digital, shipping countries/rates if physical, and the Stripe Payment Link.
