More about the book
We live in a "post-truth" age, we're told. The US has a president who openly lies on a daily basis (or who doesn't even know what's true, and doesn't care). The internet has turned our everyday lives into a misinformation battleground. People don't trust experts anymore. But was there ever really a golden age of truth telling? As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here he tells the story of how humans have spent history lying to each other--and ourselves--and asks an important question: How can humanity move toward a more truthful future?
