In this episode, we dive into Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum — a novel that predicted the age of internet conspiracies long before social media even existed. Join us as we unravel Eco’s intricate web of secret societies, symbols, and scholarly obsession, discovering how a fictional “Plan” mirrors today’s hunger for hidden meaning in a world overloaded with information. Is truth still truth when the story sounds better? Let’s swing between reason and madness — one revelation at a time.
