In 2016, a photo showing Donald Trump meeting with Russian officials sparked outrage online. The lighting looked natural, shadows fell correctly, and the subjects interacted convincingly. Just one problem: the meeting never happened. This sophisticated fake exemplifies the phenomenon Walter Scheirer explores in "A History of Fake Things on the Internet." Rather than simply condemning digital deception, Scheirer reveals its rich cultural history, showing how manipulation has always intertwined with human creativity. Drawing from his dual expertise as computer scientist and cultural historian, he offers a nuanced view of why we create, share, and believe fake content-and what it reveals about our collective imagination.
