All of Sagan's books are a good read. His postulation that rigorously reviewed, evidence based theory would simply fall to thought terminating clichés and bumper sticker logic of authoritarian cults of personality is definitely relevant to our time. Once you buy into the gatherings, rituals, merchandise and branding of a cult, it becomes harder to refund or disavow... no matter how clear the evidence.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
