Our body politic is not just figuratively ill--it's been poisoned. When writer Judson Merrill started researching the new field of cultural immunology because he believed it could diagnose the cause of America's dissolution, he didn’t realize the most prominent researcher in the field would vanish, and that the possible diagnosis would vanish with her. A novel that reads as narrative nonfiction, PARANOID STORYTELLING chronicles the explosive story of Merrill's travels across Europe as he pieces together a trail of research that uncovers a radical explanation for our collective sickness: Paranoia. Rogue information has infected the stories that bind our culture. But the closer Merrill gets to definitive proof, the more enemies he makes and the less certain he becomes that the truth will set us free. In fact, it might just make us sicker.
