| book description |
An urgent meditation on the nature of truth, by the legendary filmmaker and global cultural icon Werner Herzog ‘Herzog is in a category of one … A complete original’ MARINA HYDE ‘Herzog really is a kind of genius’ SPECTATOR **A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025** What if a lie could be true? At the heart of this fascinating and iconoclastic book lies Werner Herzog’s concept of ‘ecstatic truth’ – a truth that is often hidden behind the facts and our conceptions of reality but can be gleaned through the poetic imagination, in art, literature and cinema, when we open ourselves up to an aesthetic experience. Written in Herzog’s inimitable style, these stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from present-day deep fakes and the opportunities and perils of AI to ancient Egypt and Rome, where rulers resorted to lies and propaganda in the same way as governments do today; from Scott and Amundsen’s race to the South Pole to alien abduction claims and the making of Herzog’s own films. With its singular vision and unique voice, The Future of Truth is a compelling meditation on the relationship between fact and fiction – evidence and imagination – by one of today’s most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers.
