factor. But hype has a dark side, too.


It can mislead. It can distract. It can blinker us from seeing
what is actually going on.


In her book “Smoke and Mirrors – How Hype obscures and how to see
past it” scottish researcher and writer Gemma Milne reveals hype
to be responsible for fundamentally misdirecting or even
derailing crucial progress.
