Synopsis
Every era gets the fakes it deserves. In the 1860s, grieving Victorians paid photographers to summon translucent "spirits" onto glass plates. By the 1930s, a Scottish doctor armed with a toy submarine convinced the planet that a prehistoric monster lurked in Loch Ness. Fast-forward to the age of social media and anyone with a laptop can fabricate a world leader saying something they never said - and millions will believe it before breakfast.
LOOKS LEGIT is the definitive fact book for anyone who has ever squinted at a viral image and muttered, "There is no way that is real." Spanning more than 150 years of photographic and digital deception, this book unpacks the techniques, motives, and cultural forces behind the most infamous visual hoaxes ever created - from double-exposed spirit photographs and retouched wartime propaganda to UFO snapshots, cryptid footage, doctored celebrity images, AI-generated deepfakes, and everything in between.
Each chapter delivers 20 to 25 meticulously researched, fully verifiable facts designed to surprise, educate, and entertain. You will learn how a pair of teenage girls fooled Arthur Conan Doyle with cardboard fairies, why NASAeli had to keep debunking a faked Moon-landing photo that was itself a hoax about a hoax, and how a single deepfake video nearly destabilized a central African government. This is a book about seeing - and about all the spectacular ways we have been tricked into seeing things that were never there.
