From the anti-vaccination movement to citizen blogging to uninformed attacks on GMOs, the nation has witnessed a surge in intellectual egalitarianism.

Physics World Buy this book. And read it. Regularly...the book should be required reading for every physicist, at every level: from A-level student to assistant professor to Nobel laureate. It should also be on the reading list of every teacher and academic, regardless of their discipline.

Philip Moriarty, Times Higher Education Supplement Nichols' book needs to be read by all academics.

The Washington Post Excellent... makes important points and offers valuable insight, particularly when it comes to the role of the internet and social media in our political environment... essential reading for anyone interested in this pressing subject.

Robert Armstrong, Financial Times Nichols has a sense of humour and chooses his examples well. His anger is a lot more attractive than the standard condescension.

Sheril Kirshenbaum, Science Meticulously researched
