Requests:  0 Summary:  We live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the occupants of the White House. Discredited conspiracy theories and ideologies have resurfaced, proven science is once more up for debate, and Russian propaganda floods our screens. The wisdom of the crowd has usurped research and expertise, and we are each left clinging to the beliefs that best confirm our biases. How did truth become an endangered species in contemporary America? Former New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani takes a penetrating look at the cultural forces that contributed to this gathering storm. In social media and literature, television, academia, and politics, Kakutani identifies the trends--originating on both the right and the left--that have combined to elevate subjectivity over factuality, science, and common values. And she returns us to the words of the great critics of authoritarianism, writers like George Orwell and Hannah Arendt, whose work is newly and eerily relevant.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Kakuta Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.20973 Ka Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList
