The Death of Truth

Notes on Falsehood in the Age of Trump

Michiko Kakutani

The Death of Truth is a thought-provoking manifesto on how America is losing its grip on objective truth and rational thinking. Michiko Kakutani reveals how untruth has slowly become the norm in popular culture, politics, and academia. Red and Blue America are divided, while science is debated and opinions are held to be equally valid. With wit, erudition, and remarkable insight, Kakutani offers a solution on how to move forward during these truth-challenged times.

We all see that truth and facts have become endangered species, but we're not really aware of why and when it happened. It didn't start with Trump, argues Kakutani in this rich, erudite book. She brilliantly explains the cultural and political forces that brought us to our current sorry condition -- a must read.      source
