"A timely and important book by one of the smartest of the new generation of journalists and thinkers." - Alan Rusbridger, former Guardian editor-in-chief; "In the era of Trump, bullshit is spreading like a pandemic. In Post-Truth, Ball has put on his Hazmat suit, waded into the most infected areas of the world, and found a way to stop the plague." - Alex Gibney, Academy Award-winning documentary maker; "Fake news, post-truth and propaganda are all symptoms of a news ecosystem and political culture that incentivises clickbait and confrontation. There has never been a time when it was easier to spread stories that were untrue, and never a more important time to be able to sort the facts from the bullshit. James Ball has produced a timely and thoroughly readable guide to how to navigate a sea of falsehoods through a storm of hyperbole, bias and propaganda." - Emily Bell, director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University; "James Ball's analysis of all this is careful, methodical and thoughtful... It's a compelling look at what we like to think of as a modern phenomenon." - Reaction Life
