    Very useful. In an era where evaluating what we read online is so crucial to our lives, we lack the skills to ensure our evaluation is correct.

    Very functional ideas for the correct evaluation of online information. It goes a little off track when presenting its own ideas as correct, but overall it offers solid tools for evaluating what circulates on the internet.

Description & Specifications

We live in a world of post-truth, where "alternative facts" and "fake news" dominate our discussions and sometimes compete (and occasionally win) against credible and reliable sources of information. Fake news spreads at a rate multiple times that of the truth and increasingly pulls people into making poor decisions for themselves and their fellow humans. Misinformation and the way it spreads represent one of the greatest threats to modern society. The volume of publications that deliberately mislead is so great that it raises issues of undermining democracy.

The book serves as a simple and understandable guide for everyone in defending against misinformation and fake news. Recognize how we interact with information and what causes us to fall into traps. Navigate the labyrinth of information overload, with assistance from philosophy, psychology, sociology, and neuroscience.

Mental games, mind tricks, biases, humorous examples, practical advice are all included in a manual that promotes critical thinking. Break the chain of propaganda and fake news. And remember that just as propaganda, hoaxes, and fake news circulate with such vigor across all media, the truth can do the same if enough of us desire it.
