OK, so "Science Fictions" was just released and is full of cartoons and we have an obvious promotional push going on. But I simply must recommend the (possibly) more mundane (no comics) but nonetheless excellent David H. Freedman book:
"Wrong: Why experts keep failing us--and how to know when not to trust them Scientists, finance wizards, doctors, relationship gurus, celebrity CEOs, ... consultants, health officials and more"
https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-us-Scientists-relationship-consultants/dp/0316023787 https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-us-Scientists-relationship-cons...
