Are we living in a post-truth world, where alternative facts replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence? How did we get here? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from science denial through the rise of fake news, from our psychological blind spots to the public's retreat into information silos. McIntyre argues that we can fight post-truth, and that the first step in fighting post-truth is to understand it. ukryj opis
