Лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, влиятельный литературный критик и многолетний литературный обозреватель The New York Times Митико Какутани – об общемировом затмении рассудка в эпоху постмодерна. Правда стала исчезающим видом: повестка властных элит и медиа всего мира сегодня как никогда далека от реальности. Под натиском «альтернативных истин» и откровенных фейков мы сами утратили навыки критического мышления, позволив авторитарным правительствам манипулировать нами. О том, как это случилось, – книга Какутани. Автор обращается к трудам крупнейших интеллектуалов ХХ века – таким, как Джордж Оруэлл и Ханна Арендт, – чтобы нарисовать пугающий образ современности, в которой псевдособытия формируют реальность, а культурный язык деградировал до поистине опасного уровня. «Смерть правды» – это не только актуальная публицистика, но и книга, возвращающая способность критически мыслить в эпоху, когда истины утрачены.
