| Sommario/riassunto: | Clancy argues that abductees are sane, intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a mélange of nightmares, culturally available texts, and a drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief. |
