Science, technology and society for a post-truth age: Comparative dialogues on reflexivity

Taking us on a tour of sites from Colombia to the UK, from the Czech Republic to India, these insightful analyses tease apart the tangle of things called post-truth. Here, STS is well-equipped to show us laudable democratizations of science and dangerous dismantlings of knowledge and expertise, and how they can be found near each other.

The contributors masterfully dissect the complexities of our era's disinformation challenges. This book stands out for its rich theoretical depth and empirical evidence blend. It offers a unique STS perspective on topics ranging from social reflexivity and post-factual politics to participatory research. It's an essential read for anyone seeking to understand and navigate the intricate landscape of truth, science, and society in our times.

It would be hard to find another volume that is so comprehensive in its coverage of the implications of the post-truth condition. But even more distinctive is the range of national voices that are registered in its pages. For those who think that ‘post-truth’ is an elite transatlantic phenomenon, the perspectives offered by scholars from the Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, India and Colombia will prove especially eye-opening.
