Farrah Jarral, GuardianLike the strange, enchanting films for which he is best known, Herzog’s seventh book defies the usual conventions of structure, narrative arc and the delineation of fact from fiction, even as it addresses the very subject of truth … It’s like listening to a fireside monologue from an entertaining uncle … Compelling … A collection of uniquely Herzogian mindfarts … Absurd, profound or an ecstatically truthful mix of the two
Financial TimesAs we gingerly pick our way through the newly troubling realm of what we see and read, and wonder what artificial intelligence might have in store for us, the German filmmaker Werner Herzog might be the perfect guide … In The Future of Truth he shares field notes of his encounters with truth and its increasingly convincing simulacra, from deep fakes to wholly fabricated personalities, living full if fictive lives in cyber space
