虚假信息：后真相时代事实和谎言的本质

事实毫无意义的世界会引起焦虑吗？害怕甚至可能是偏执狂？虚假信息：后真相时代的事实和谎言的本质无法治愈后真相世界的所有弊病，但通过展示数字技术在日常生活中的出现如何将一些看似松散相关的力量——历史、心理、经济和文化——结合在一起，创造了后真相文化，虚假信息将帮助你更好地理解我们是如何走到现在这一步的，了解我们如何走出一种事实很容易被忽视的文化，并培养一些非常实用的技能来区分真相和谎言。
虚假信息解释
•人类心理——我们大脑的工作方式——如何让我们容易受到虚假信息的影响。
•全球计算机网络的早期愿景是如何无意中为当前的后真相文化奠定基础的。
•通过宣传和阴谋论扭曲和歪曲真相的方式。
•新技术不仅传播虚假信息，还可能改变我们的思维方式。
•信息经济学和流行文化的强大影响力对后真相文化的创造做出了贡献。
与对后真相文化的太多片面的政治意识形态处理不同，虚假信息并不试图将责任指向任何个人或团体；相反，它的重点是在全人类都在努力更好地理解和更有效地控制（无论是好是坏）挑战人类智力和情感能力极限的新技术的时候，许多不同的力量是如何影响人类行为的。
Disinformation: The Nature of Facts and Lies in the Post-Truth Era
Does the idea of a world in which facts mean nothing cause anxiety? Fear? Maybe even paranoia? Disinformation: The Nature of Facts and Lies in the Post-Truth Era cannot cure all the ills of a post-truth world, but by demonstrating how the emergence of digital technology into everyday life has knitted together a number of seemingly loosely related forces–historical, psychological, economic, and culture–to create the post-truth culture, Disinformation will help you better understand how we got to where we now are, see how we can move beyond a culture in which facts are too easily dismissed, and develop a few highly practical skills for separating truth from lies.
Disinformation explains
• How human psychology—the very way our brains work—can leave us vulnerable to disinformation.
• How the early visions of what a global computer network would and should be unintentionally laid the groundwork for the current post-truth culture.
• The ways in which truth is twisted and misrepresented via propaganda and conspiracy theories.
• How new technology not only spreads disinformation but may also be changing the way we think.
• The ways in which the economics of information and the powerful influence of popular culture have contributed to the creation of the post-truth culture.
Unlike the far-too-numerous one-sided, politically ideological treatments of the post-truth culture, Disinformation does not seek to point the finger of blame at any individuals or groups; instead, its focus is on how a number of disparate forces have influenced human behaviors during a time when all of humanity is struggling to better understand and more effectively control (for better or worse) challenging new technologies that are straining the limits of human intellectual and emotional capacity.
