A “True Enough” reading in Berkeley

If you’re free Monday evening, stop by Cody’s in Berkeley, where I’ll be discussing my book “True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society.” The book examines the way digital technology has made it easier for people to indulge in ideas that merely feel true, rather than those that actually are.

I’ll talk about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, people who believe that immunization vaccines might cause autism, global warming and AIDS denialists, and Lou Dobbs.

If you agree — or disagree! — let’s chat in Berkeley.
