Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back.
We're living in a time when nothing feels very true. Where our timelines give us endless opinions and fiction disguised as fact. So, how can we build a clear picture of the world around us when false information and fake news is spread by our friends, colleagues and classmates right up to world leaders?
The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind - even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. We bring together neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, on a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.
