Theory Conspiracy is a groundbreaking collection that delves into the intricate interplay between conspiracy theory and theory-as-conspiracy. By purposefully jumbling the syntax, it encourages a series of reflections on the relationship between theory and conspiracy, exploring how conspiracies can challenge the very foundations of theoretical thinking. This volume also unavoidably engages with the recent debates surrounding postcritique, a suspicion that our approaches to reading in the humanities have been excessively suspicious, if not paranoid. The humanities, which have been consistently questioned as superfluous at best and leftist and dangerous at worst, have garnered significant attention for this concern.

The chapters in this collection approach this problematic from diverse angles, showcasing clear and engaging writing by a group of contributors with extensive expertise in conspiracy theory, critical theory, and the state of theory today. This collection will captivate readers with an interest in conspiracy theories, critical thinking, and the future of the humanities.
