The Book

How the Internet Disrupted Science explores the effects of the politics, business practices, philosophical leanings, and cultural assumptions imported from Silicon Valley over the past few decades into the scientific claims space, and their effects on trust, truth, and reliability.

Drawn from years of coverage, first-hand accounts, and a wide-ranging view of related investigations and contemplations, the book connects the dots to provide a meaningful picture of what is afflicting the scientific information space, while also showing a better way forward.
