About this title

Synopsis

For years, readers have flocked to the Fake Science site for scientifically flavored information. The research there has been lauded by Mental Floss as "inaccurate and ridiculous in every way," praised by the Guardian as "brilliantly false," heralded by io9 as "amazing," and noted by Google as "a website."

Now readers can finally share the freshest discoveries of the Fake Science lab. Larded with hundreds of footnotes, illustrations, and a small amount of lard (it reduces paper manufacturing costs), Fake Science 101 is a completely new truth-sterilized textbook.

About the Author

Phil Edwards has transcribed the findings of the Fake Science labs for years, without pay or comprehension. He hasn't encountered a single explosion while writing. Though Edwards is based in an unnamed location that rhymes with Shmicago, Shmillinois, Fake Science has labs in Dubai, Tokyo, and Fort Thomas, Kentucky, a charming suburb within walking distance of Cincinnati.
