You type a few words, press Enter, and within half a second you have decided which answer to trust. Almost always, it is one of the first three. Who put them there?

Search Engines and the Gatekeepers of Truth opens the box. You will see how robots read the web one link at a time, how an index turned inside out can find a phrase among hundreds of billions of pages, how a page's rank is worked out from links, clicks and hundreds of other signals, and how the adverts at the top are sold in an auction that runs billions of times a day. You will meet the two Stanford students who turned links into votes, the department store that cheated its way to the top and got caught, the experiment that shifted undecided voters just by changing the order of results, and the AI answer that told people to put glue on their pizza.
