摘要

这是一本关于胡说八道的书。这本书讲述了我们是如何经常被它淹没的，讲述了我们如何学会看透它，以及我们如何反击。这个世界充斥着胡言乱语，而我们却淹没在其中。政客们似乎不受事实的约束。科学是通过新闻稿进行的。广告商邀请我们和他们一起接受半真半假的事实。欺凌通过在特定问题上误导人们来腐蚀我们的世界，破坏我们信任信息的能力，损害我们的民主进程。这本书的目的是帮助读者面对冲击，将事实与虚构区分开来。

Book Review: Calling bullsh*t: The art of scepticism in a data-driven world

This is a book about bullsh*t. It is a book about how we are often inundated with it, about how we can learn to see through it, and about how we can fight back. The world is awash with bullsh*t, and we are drowning in it. Politicians appear to be unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Advertisers invite us to join them in accepting half-truths. Bullsh*t corrupts our world by misleading people about specific issues, it undermines our ability to trust information in general and it harms our democratic processes. The aim of this book is to help readers face the onslaught and separate fact from fiction.
