Review of True Enough by Slate’s Farhad Manjoo

Friend of CrunchGear Scott McKenzie wrote a review of Farhad Manjoo’s book True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society

Writing a book review after reading True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society by Farhad Manjoo is quite a fatalistic endeavor. You’re either going to like the book or you’ll despise it. But these comments won’t change your mind. They’ll enable you to feel good buying a book you already want or you’ll ridicule them for examining a book you already know sucks.

In True Enough, Manjoo, former manager of the Machinist blog at Salon.com now at Slate.com, examines how recent developments in technology have exacerbated the fractured nature of our antagonistic, skeptical, partisan, believe-whatever-outlandishness-you-want-to-believe-without-regard-for-proof society. He launches the book with the compelling case of three-year-old Eliza Jane Scovil.
