Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Reshaped the World

‘Detailed and impeccably researched. Eye-opening’ GUARDIAN

‘Punchy and well-reported. Sommer is the perfect person to tell this story’ NEW YORK TIMES
‘The expert on America’s right-wing fringe … With kidnappings, murders, and Satanic rituals, this is a story so bizarre, only Will Sommer could report it’ Atlantic

For the followers of QAnon, the idea that Donald Trump was anointed by God to stop a depraved deep state government that sexually abuses, kills and eats children is an unquestionable fact. But how did a conspiracy theory from the dark side of the internet convince millions across the world to believe the unbelievable? Who are these people? And more importantly, what do they want?

Investigative journalist Will Sommer dives head-first into QAnon: the great American conspiracy with global consequences. With first-hand access to leading figures in the Q movement, Sommer examines how the internet has radicalised politics, threatened democracy, and inspired insurrection and assassination, to show how we got here and how we can chart a path out.
