Qanon and on a short and shocking history of internet conspiracy cults. Van Badham. 2021.

In 2013, journalist Van Badham experienced the viciousness of the internet firsthand. Amid the constant trolling and hateful memes, her curiosity got the better of her and she began to wonder how the internet's extremist underworld worked. Finally, after watching the disinformation campaigns grow to a geopolitical scale, Van went undercover.

In QAnon and On, Van exposes this century's most dangerous and far-fetched internet cults from the inside, delving into the why, how and who behind QAnon and its disturbing predecessors. This is the story of the modern internet, the farscape of political belief and the disinformation pipeline between the two that poses an ongoing threat to democracy itself.

Shocking and mesmerising in equal measure, this book is an urgent alert to the dangers of partisan belief.
