Anyone know a good book on the psychology of conspiracy/fringe/pseudoscience believers? I met a flatearther for the first time in person and it made for a fascinating conversation.
This is a classic on the subject, with an impossibly well-named author: https://books.google.com/books/about/Mathematical_Cranks.html?id=HqeoWPsIH6EC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button#v=onepage&q&f=false … Read it as an undergrad after coming across cranks on online newsgroups(!)
