A curious origin story, this. I bought it on a whim: I was a very young teenager and thought it might be about flying saucers. I was partially right, but not the way I was expecting: it's a lucid and occasionally very funny survey of fringe beliefs and pseudosciences, and made a skeptic of me.

Speaking as a former Californian with continuing deep ties to the state: Go ahead and be Florida's problem, you greedy fascist fuckwaddles
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.
