We live in an age of ignorance. This book offers a guide to how we got here—and how we might escape. From obfuscations of climate science to the myriad deceptions inhering in language, Ignorance Unmasked explores how agnotology—the study of ignorance—can help us better understand the barriers to knowledge. It discusses the agents and causes of ignorance, including climate change, public health, misinformation, deep fakes, market deceptions, military trauma, environmental malfeasance, and more. It aims to help us understand how ignorance is produced and how rectifying it can improve human liberty and planetary health.
