      Exploring the resurgence of flat Earth conspiracy theories, Ana Peraica examines their connection to contemporary post-digital image culture. The book delves into how these theories, despite being debunked historically, reflect deeper societal beliefs and anxieties in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Peraica's analysis highlights the implications of these ideas on our understanding of reality and art in an increasingly visual world, suggesting a complex relationship between belief, image, and culture.
