An intervention in the age of political manipulation – in search of the truth with an “extraordinary storyteller”
The Washington Post
The great director Werner Herzog asks the strangest story of all: the story of truth. What is the truth?
In a world troubled by fake news, political manipulation and artificial intelligence, a world that relies on abstract facts but has invented poetry and cinema, truth must mean more than crude empiricism.From the invented victory of Pharaoh Ramesses in battle, to the myth of modern-day alien abduction, and from moments of ecstasy on set to his encounters with reality during days of walking, Werner Herzog uniquely weaves captivating reflections and memories. A book for everyone who has the ability to feel astonishment.
