An urgent meditation on the nature of truth, by the legendary filmmaker and global cultural icon Werner HerzogHerzog is in a category of one ... A complete original MARINA HYDEHerzog really is a kind of genius SPECTATORA FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025What if a lie could be true?At the heart of this fascinating and iconoclastic book lies Werner Herzogs 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 Herzogs inimitable style, these stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from presentday 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 Amundsens race to the South Pole to alien abduction claims and the making of Herzogs 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 todays most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers.
