"True Enough" and a revelationIt's not every day that a book can make someone think so much about society and life. It's rare that a book can have so much power to make someone aware of the differences between people and open the public's eyes. Farhad Manjoo, author of True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society, published in 2008, provides comprehensive and in-depth insights into how Americans' perspectives change with each individual. No matter how proven the facts and evidence are, there will always be people who believe something happened and others who don't. Farhad provides facts, experiences, and examples of how “technology and globalization have brought the world closer together, they separate our minds” (Manjoo 1). Examples and information about Swift Boat veterans, the tragic 9/11 attack, the 2004 election of President Bush,....... all major issues in the United States and people have their beliefs to believe in facts or their personal opinion. Manjoo's questions in the book "How can so many people living in the same place see the world so differently?" (7). The book begins with the Swift Boat Veterans incident with John Kerry and how a group of people managed to make Kerry believe that he was not a hero during the Vietnam War but a traitor. Fahad Manjoo provides background information on John Kerry allowing the reader to become familiar with who he was. Manjoo, in this sense, takes his audience into consideration by providing them with enough information before delving into what concerns Kerry. Manjoo mentions that the media plays a major role in distorting reality. He states: "The veterans lacked convincing evidence to support their claims, and yet they... middle of paper... at least for us, and that's as real as it gets ¨(158). He makes good job supporting his arguments with the examples provided. This strengthens and delivers the book in a well organized manner. For the book's weaknesses, there was some confusion at the end of the chapter as there were an excessive number of abbreviations. made it difficult to follow. This caused confusion when reading and the need to backtrack to understand the meaning of abbreviations. For example, in Chapter 6 he used FCC, RJR, MBD, GGOOB, and. others that caused uncertainty while reading If he eliminated some of these abbreviations or reminded the reader what they stood for, he could reduce this confusion Although this was the one flaw that stood out the most, Farhad Manjoo has. managed to start and end the book with. curiosity about human prejudices.
