520    "2016 marked the dawn of the post-truth era. The year saw 
       two shock election results, each of which has the 
       potential to reshape the world: the UK's decision to leave
       the EU, and the elevation of Donald Trump to the office of
       US President. The campaigns highlighted many of the same 
       issues in their home countries: social division, anger at 
       the elite, anti-immigration sentiment and more - but, more
       than anything, they heralded an unprecedented rise of 
       bullshit. Sophistry and spin have been part of politics 
       since the dawn of time. But the modern era sees millions 
       being fed false reports that Hillary Clinton ordered 30,
       000 guillotines to use on her opponents following her 
       victory, while Trump claims he 'never said that' about 
       speeches recorded on video, and the Leave campaign's 
       divisive claims about GBP350 million extra funding for the
       NHS and 'swarms' of new EU immigrants from Turkey prove 
       pivotal in a referendum. Post-truth is bigger than fake 
       news and bigger than social media. It's about the slow 
       rise of a political, media and online infrastructure that 
       has devalued truth. Bullshit gets you noticed. Bullshit 
       makes you rich. Bullshit can even pave your way to the 
       Oval Office. This is the story of bullshit: what's being 
       spread, who's spreading it, why it works - and what we can
       do to tackle it." -- Provided by publisher.
