This is a book about TRUTH - and all the ingenious ways, throughout history, that we`ve managed to avoid it. 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 any more. 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 we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - and asks an important question: how can humanity move towards a truthier future?
