  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Orphan Master's Son" by Adam Johnson is a novel that delves into the complex themes of identity and state control within a totalitarian regime. The narrative follows the journey of Jun Do, an orphan who becomes a series of different people through the demands of the state. He is forced to play roles, from a kidnapper to an intelligence officer, and ultimately, an imposter. The story also explores the work of an interrogator, whose job is to craft citizen biographies that support the government's ideology. The interrogator's own experiences are interwoven with the story, showing his gradual disillusionment with his work and the state. The book explores how individuals resist, survive, and are changed by a world where the truth is manipulated to serve those in power, and where personal stories are secondary to the state’s.

  Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation 
   
   
   
  We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery—loosely defined as the spread of false "knowledge," often accompanied by various versions of "snake oil"—is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
   
   
   
  In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.
