  Read by the author, Michael BondFans takes you on a journey into the world of superfans – in all of its strange, sometimes dark, and complicated forms.'A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material' – TLSFascinating and thought-provoking, Fans is a story of communities, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.But acclaimed science writer Michael Bond shows that despite these benefits, the world of fandoms is not without its dark underside, from the “copycat effect” fuelling mass shootings to the delusions that can accompany the parasocial relationships that fans feel they have with their heroes.In Fans, Michael Bond draws on the work of social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why such groups have such a profound effect on human culture.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  I’ve met every kind of scammer you can think of. 
  The quiet ones who whisper you into doing whatever they want. 
  The loud ones who slam the phone and make you doubt yourself. 
  The ones who believe their own stories.  
  And the ones who don't believe in nothin' at all. 
  The Scammer’s Playbook isn’t “based on true events.” 
  It’s my field notes — real cases, real scams, real losses. 
  How the truth gets bent until it tucks neatly into someone’s pocket. 
  How trust is built one small, honest-looking step at a time… right up until it’s time for the hard goodbye. 
  I wrote The Scammer’s Playbook vol. 1 to show you the angles — the language, the timing, the psychology — all the nuances that make a scam work. 
  Once you see the patterns, you know exactly what time it is. 
  You’ll recognize the play before it even begins.

  In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.
