Review: Birds Aren’t Real by Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos

They gathered in cities across the United States, brandishing pictures of bald eagles reimagined as robotic drones. They disrupted town halls, heckling officials with chants of “Birds aren’t real!” The adherents, known as “Bird Truthers,” even protested outside Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco to demand that the company change its “disgusting” bird logo. The Deep State, say the Bird Truthers, has systematically exterminated more than 12 billion birds and replaced them with drones specifically engineered to conduct surveillance on citizens and promptly relay their activities to the government. In Birds aren’t Real, whistle blowers and hero Bird Truthers Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos go into the very sinister origins of this sprawling and covert political conspiracy and share a wealth of knowledge regarding the new surveillance state. Through the book, these dedicated patriots hope to raise awareness of the Deep State’s elaborate hoax and, with that aim, have provided readers with a plethora of helpful pictures, exercises, and confidential documents that they hope would persuade even the most vocal sceptic that birds are not real.
