A dreadful book. Hardly sufficiently comprehensive book to be called a bible. It was short on details and analytic depth. The type setting was amateurish as was the writing. Editing was slight. There was a mixture of cats and dogs varying from the internet to critical thinking. It seemed more a plea by the author for people to hire him as a consultant on fake news. My guess is that this was a vanity publishing project.
