The Ministry of Doubt

The Ministry of Doubt

In a world where certainty is currency and doubt is dangerous, one man dares to question everything. The Ministry of Doubt is a gripping work of fiction that explores what happens when the institutions built to provide answers begin to fear the questions — and what it costs one individual to keep asking them.
