Welcome to a world where truth is optional, logic is negotiable, and headlines are written by algorithms with caffeine addictions.
In Fake News, Peter Parker serves up a biting collection of satirical short stories that hilariously (and uncomfortably) mirror our times. From politicians who hire AI speechwriters that go rogue, to influencers who sell bottled air from undiscovered dimensions, every story peels back the shiny layer of modern life - and exposes the absurd gears spinning underneath.
Each story is broadcast by the Ministry of Perception, the world's most powerful department - one that doesn't control what you see, but how you think you see it.
A laugh-out-loud, thought-provoking blend of The Onion, Black Mirror, and George Orwell, this collection reminds us that in the age of endless information... the funniest (and scariest) thing is how much we choose to believe.
Wickedly funny. Makes you laugh - and then makes you think.

If truth had a sense of humor, this would be it.
