TL;DR: In the U.S., the election year made fact-checking a part of household terminology and during the first presidential debate on September 26, 2016, NPR.org's live fact-checked website drew 7.4 million page views and delivered its biggest traffic day ever.
Abstract: Our society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of falsehoods, hyperboles, and half-truths. Politicians and organizations repeatedly make the same false claims. Fake news floods the cyberspace and even allegedly influenced the 2016 election. In fighting false information, the number of active fact-checking organizations has grown from 44 in 2014 to 114 in early 2017. 1 Fact-checkers vet claims by investigating relevant data and documents and publish their verdicts. For instance, PolitiFact.com, one of the earliest and most popular fact-checking projects, gives factual claims truthfulness ratings such as True, Mostly True, Half true, Mostly False, False, and even "Pants on Fire". In the U.S., the election year made fact-checking a part of household terminology. For example, during the first presidential debate on September 26, 2016, NPR.org's live fact-checking website drew 7.4 million page views and delivered its biggest traffic day ever.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a book that defies our own idea of what a book really is, where the two main characters are the striking Victorian individuals Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage; the main subject matter is Babbage's notoriously elaborate Difference Engine and his designed-but-never-built Analytical Engine.
Abstract: Imagine trying to read a book that defies your own idea of what a “book” really is. You ask yourself: is it fiction? (Definitely not: the two main characters are the striking Victorian individuals Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage; the main subject matter is Babbage’s notoriously-elaborate Difference Engine and his designed-but-never-built Analytical Engine.) Is it nonfiction? (Definitely not: some of the plots are deliberate fantasy, set in a fictional universe in which the Analytical Engine was actually built, and in which Lovelace and Babbage can take fantastical journeys through towering replicas of the Engine’s cogs, levers, and gears.) Is it a comic? (Maybe. Certainly, the main action is presented in graphical panels as in a typical comic. But would a comic have hundreds of substantial footnotes and endnotes, presenting fastidiously-researched evidence from original historical documents?)
