“Drawing from a plurality of perspectives, ranging from political theory to media studies, in this timely book Kalpokas offers the most thorough theoretical discussion of post-truth currently available. Rather than simply providing a negative description, or an ideologically oriented reading, the author weaves a rich and nuanced analysis of the phenomenon by examining its affective and symbolic dimensions, and rooting his interpretation of post-truth in the still-relevant philosophical work of Baruch Spinoza.” (Gabriele Cosentino, Lebanese American University, Lebanon)
