'TOM PHILLIPS IS A VERY CLEVER, VERY FUNNY MAN' Greg Jenner
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?
PRAISE FOR HUMANS: A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOW WE F*CKED IT ALL UP:
'F*cking brilliant' Sarah Knight, The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
'Very funny' Mark Watson
'In dark times, it's reassuring to learn that we've always been a bunch of
clueless f*cking nitwits' Stuart Heritage, Don't Be a Dick, Pete
'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly
wrong... Both readable and entertaining' Telegraph
