Introduction
Sander van der Linden is a psychologist from the University of Cambridge. His new book focuses on misinformation, particularly falsehoods that we come across online. Misinformation can often be a simple mistake, but it can also be produced and posted with nefarious intent to deliberately deceive someone. Sander and I talked about how misinformation messages are crafted,. why they can be hard to shake once we're exposed to them, and how Star Wars Episode 3 helped in a fight against them.
