In this book, Rob Wijnberg examines the collapse of truth in our society. Based on observations from news, social media, and political debates, he analyzes the growing cynicism and distrust. The book offers a hopeful perspective on progress in the 21st century and argues that truth must once again become something that connects people rather than divides them. The sharp analysis is a powerful antidote to pessimism and has received praise from critics such as Marcia Luyten and Marjan Slob. Rob Wijnberg is a philosopher and founder of De Correspondent, known for various books and named Journalist of the Year 2013.
