I am reminded of Who Says You're Dead?.

The outstanding feature of Viral BS is its variety. Yasmin tackles questions from "Do the flat tummy detox teas touted by Instagram celebrities actually work?" (no, of course not) to "Did the US government infect people with syphilis and gonorrhea?" (yes, unfortunately).

Reading a chapter a day is a great way to broaden your horizons, and the many different topics covered ensure that it remains engaging. Viral BS is well worth a read.
