A welcome stance though I don't know if I'll ever get round to reading the novel. Day to day fact is outdoing imagination as we seem to be sleepwalking into a society that is seriously 'post-truth', where idiotic theories and beliefs are the norm and it is forbidden to call anyone out. What's happened to the West? The phenomenon is not only alarming but somewhat puzzling. I give up.
Yes, ‘post-truth’. It’s a social-media-driven world where one angry perceived victim can gain a voice and a million supporters overnight - and enough power to make governments cautious of upsetting them.
