It is a book that shows with evidence how the Zeitgeist documentary distorts the facts and how, while claiming to open people's eyes, it actually creates a new fog over people's eyes.
In the book, it is stated that Jesus of Nazareth, who appeared in the first part of the documentary, did not actually live.
and the criticism of the section in which it was explained that the features attributed to him were taken from previous mythologies was very good. In this part of the documentary, it is revealed with evidence how the facts are distorted.
I think Tunca Arslan's review is the best part of the book. Tunca Arslan says that Zeitgeist is a documentary that repeats the view that war against imperialism (for example, wars of independence) is futile by replacing the concept of imperialism with a few omnipotent capitalists, and that enlightenment will not come with a Zeitgeist CD.
To tell the truth, the documentary impressed me a lot at first. Zeitgeist is a very successful and convincing documentary on this subject. When not viewed with a critical eye, it causes the person to think they know everything.
The only thing I disagree with in the book is that conspiracy theories are portrayed as a completely negative concept. This is especially evident in Haluk Hepkon's article. I think it is wrong to put all conspiracy theories in the same category. Some conspiracy theories are actually based on logical arguments. These may not fully reflect the facts, but I think they are important in terms of revealing doubts and concerns. These theories can be useful if they are critically evaluated through the filter of logic.
I recommend this book, which reminds us how important it is to critically evaluate the things we read and watch and to check the information presented to us.
