Summary:
Over the last three decades, Michiko Kakutani has been thinking and writing about the demise of objective
truth
in popular culture, academia, and contemporary politics. In The
Death
of
Truth
, she connects the dots to reveal the slow march of untruth up to our present moment, when Red State and Blue State America have little common ground, proven science is once more up for debate, and all opinions are held to be equally valid. (And, more often than not, rudely declared online.) The wisdom of the crowd has diminished the power of research and expertise, and we are each left clinging to the "facts" that best confirm our biases.
