    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 through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
Yes. There is hope. 
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. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.

    A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion, and spectacle – featuring an introduction from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence—forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening “rifts” onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.    Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.
