A review by elockwood
The Doubt Factory by Paolo Bacigalupi

3.0

A book about propaganda that is also at once probably propaganda - not unlikable propaganda or anything I disagree with, but any plot where the conspiracy theorists turn out to be right does not make for the strongest or most compelling plot. To me, this seemed like a watered down version of Cory Doctorow. Kids outsmarting adults is always one of my favorite things, though. It never gets boring - even as I move more and more into the "adult" side of things.
