The death of truth : notes on falsehood in the age of Trump / Michiko Kakutani. by Kakutani, Michiko. Tim Duggan Books, 2018.

Edition:  1st ed. Description:  208 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-208). Contents:  The decline and fall of reason -- The new culture wars -- "Moi" and the rise of subjectivity -- The vanishing of reality -- The co-opting of language -- Filters, silos, and tribes -- Technology -- "The firehose of falsehood" : propaganda and fake news -- The Schadenfreude of the trolls. 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.
