Exploring the concept of 'contingency phobia,' this book examines how conspiracy theories, algorithms, and meritocracy share a common tendency to reject uncertainty and seek definitive answers. It argues that this avoidance of contingency is not only prevalent in conspiratorial thinking but also contributes to various issues within liberal democracies, highlighting the implications of such a mindset on society and governance.
