How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything

Average rating4.2
Rounding up to 5*s because the subject of Q is so important to understanding some of the craziness in the public arena over the last couple of years and this book does an excellent job of laying out the timeline of Q, many of its bizarre claims, and the nature of its believers. We don't learn definitively who Q is/was, although there is some speculation that has also appeared elsewhere. And, therefore, we don't learn exactly WHY it came into existence. Near the end of the book, Rothschild suggests that after Q disappeared (has he?), some believers have gravitated to hate groups with which QAnon had some overlap, which makes a lot of sense. (The Jan. 6 Insurrection, after all, was a joint production of QAnon and some of those groups.)
Anyway, I learned a lot from the book and recommend it if you're curious about Q.
