Information · The synthetic era
Truth didn’t vanish. It split into flocks.
Seven percent of Americans say they have a great deal of trust in mass media; thirty-nine percent say they have none at all. Researchers now describe not isolated fakes but "synthetic realities" — entire information environments, personalized and self-reinforcing, in which content, identity and interaction are all manufactured. Two neighbors, two feeds, two irreconcilable worlds.
