In subtle and fascinating exploration, "Salon" writer Farhad Manjoo explains what's powering this phenomenon. He explores how new technologies that give us control over what we see and read has caused "reality" to split across political and cultural lines, allowing opposing groups to subscribe not only to different opinions from each other, but also different "facts," With brilliant insights from psychology, sociology, and economics, Manjoo explains how myths pushed by both partisans and marketers--whether about global warming, the war in Iraq, 9/11, or even the virtues of a certain candy bar--have attracted wide support in recent years. His characters include the Swift Boat Veterans, Lou Dobbs, and conspiracy theorists of all varieties, all of whom prove that "true" matters less, now, than true "enough," If You Enjoy "True Enough (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "True Enough (Hardcover)" by Farhad Manjoo (Author)There are no customer reviews yet.
