The book explores the impact of American academics, influenced by French postmodern philosophy in the 1980s and 1990s, on the current challenges to science and truth. It highlights how these intellectual movements have empowered corporate interests, post-truth politicians, religious extremists, and right-wing populists, contributing to the erosion of objective truth in contemporary society. Through this analysis, the author delves into the complex interplay between academia and the rise of post-truth ideologies.
