Danny Wallace embarks on a fascinating quest to trace the origins of a peculiar rumour that's been following him around for years. Someone, somewhere, once told someone else something about him—but where did it start, and why has it persisted?
What begins as a simple investigation into Chinese whispers becomes a brilliant exploration of how stories spread, mutate, and take on lives of their own in our interconnected world. Wallace's journey takes him down unexpected rabbit holes, meeting the people who've passed the story along and uncovering the strange psychology behind why we believe and share the things we hear. It's a witty, thought-provoking look at truth, gossip, and the narratives that shape our lives—all told with Wallace's trademark humour and curiosity.
