Conspiracy fantasies plague our world, yet our responses to them are woefully inadequate to their complexity and appeal. How are today’s forms of conspiratorial thinking connected to broader systems of financialized capitalism?

In a gamified era, where life feels like a game only the rich can win, does conspiratorialism represent a form of dangerous play?
