The US has a president who openly lies on a daily basis (or who doesn't even know what's true, and doesn't care). The internet has turned our everyday lives into a misinformation battleground. People don't trust experts any more.\n\nBut was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - and asks an important question: how can humanity move towards a truthier future?\n\nPRAISE FOR HUMANS: A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOW WE F*CKED IT ALL UP:\n\n'F*cking brilliant' Sarah Knight, The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck\n\n'Very funny' Mark Watson\n\n'In dark times, it's reassuring to learn that we've always been a bunch of clueless f*cking nitwits' Stuart Heritage, Don't Be a Dick, Pete\n\n'A light-touch history of moments when humans have got it spectacularly wrong...
