.

The main events take place from spring 2019 to summer 2020. There are two main characters in the book.

Uncle Ivan, a simple, intelligent worker who does not keep up with information and therefore constantly gets into trouble. He is a patriot, he lives in Ukraine, but he understands that everything is terrible in the country. He is an Internet person, but he is analogue. He understands that everyone is manipulating, but he doesn't know how.

And his niece, who is just engaged in raking for such uncles, manipulating them through media and social networks. She grew up listening to her uncle's stories about Soviet propaganda and how people tried to resist it."

The book describes the turning point when her uncle became completely confused and her niece decided to switch sides. Instead of manipulating, it teaches ordinary people to resist these manipulations.

At first, she tried to understand why Uncle Ivan, a motherly fighter against the lies of the Soviets, turned into a man who was falling for all the tactics of populists, fraudsters, and creators of magic pills. She tells her uncle how information functions in the digital world. How online media, television, Facebook, Viber, YouTube, Telegram work and are manipulated. How he can protect himself and become a fighter again.

The uncle studies hard. He even takes over the tutelage of his friend Nikolai. Together they go through the pyramid scheme and the coronavirus infodemic. They see how much information destroys people. They know from their own experience that there are effective and simple life hacks. The friends decide to teach their fellow villagers how to filter information. However, they are in for an unpleasant surprise - people don't want to do this, they just want to live well.

The book's characters overcame this, though they had to sweat a lot, but they found an approach to some of their friends and taught them information hygiene.
