So, I technically finished Stuff The Don't Want You to Know by Ben Bowlin, Matt Frederick, and Noel Brown yesterday, but it's been a week.
The setup is almost opposite what we normally see in conspiracy compilations, as they move from downright preposterous (with roots in what is real) into very real, provable discussions.
But honestly, it's fun to go through, since some of it is a fuller story on things I knew already (Tuskeegee in particular.)
Honestly, there isn't that much to say here, beyond it being a fun if occasionally disturbing discussion on things that increasingly are being presented as truth, and why it is people are inclined to believe them. (Case in point, one of the reviews I read about it spent a paragraph complaining that the debunk of one theory was false, since a particular cable news station said differently.)
So yeah, if you want an exploration of modern folklore, it's worth reading.
