Praise for Virtual Unreality
 
“Mr. Seife (a professor of journalism at New York University and the author of five books on science and math) . . . is a meticulous writer, and he quickly won me over—unfortunately. . . . [H]is portrait is persuasive and thus disconcerting and frightening.”
—Howard Schneider, The Wall Street Journal
 
“Virtual Unreality is a talisman we gullible can wield in the hope that we won’t get fooled again.”
—Dwight Garner, The New York Times

“Intense and incisive, Seife’s exposé of potent tricks on the mesmerizing, overpowering Internet makes us very wary about anything that cannot be verified with our own eyes.”
—Publishers Weekly

“An ingenious overview of a wildly unreliable Internet.”
— Kirkus (starred review)

“A cogent, balanced, quietly impassioned call for Internet skepticism.”
—Nature

“Seife proves meticulous in amassing much of what we know about the perils of the Internet and explaining its significance for anyone trying to separate truth from falsehood . . . informed, nimble, endlessly quotable, and timely . . . an indispensable guide to almost everything sinister about the Internet.”
—Christian Science Monitor

Praise for Sun in a Bottle

“Dispatches from science’s front lines . . . spiced with fresh discoveries and dsiputes.”
—Los Angeles Times
