In a world in which more and more fake news is being spread, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from lies, knowledge from opinion. Disinformation campaigns are not only perceived as a political problem, but the fake news debate is also about fundamental philosophical questions: What is truth? How can we recognize it? Is there such a thing as objective facts or is everything socially constructed? This book explains how echo chambers and alternative worldviews emerge, it blames post-factual thinking for the current truth crisis, and it shows how we can escape the threat of truth relativism.

Why should anyone other than philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, and psychologists read this book? It is because post-factualism and post-truth as operative modes of thought have emerged from the philosophy journals and gone into the wild--like a virus escaping from a laboratory. ... The objective is cash flow, period. If this is the only philosophy book you read this decade, it will be worth it. (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, March 11, 2024) The book is not a heavy read, and Zoglauers writing style is easy to follow, even across the potentially very deep topics it presents. Its main readership is not necessarily computing practitioners or academics. for people trying to better understand epistemology through its expressions in the modern world, it will be a very worthy read. (Gunnar Wolf, Computing Reviews, March 6, 2024)
