The Truth Machine
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Ballantine Books
- Publish date: 08/01/1997
But one of the most influential businessmen in the world has a remarkable dream--and the ability to make it reality: a machine that can detect lies with one hundred percent accuracy. While such a device would leave no doubt about guilt in death-row cases, it also has broad implications for a world that is on a collision course with self-destruction.
When the Truth Machine does indeed become a reality, it changes the face of the world. And as its use spreads from courtroom to politics to diplomacy, business, science, education, and finally into every home throughout the world, it reshapes the very nature of humanity. But ultimately, the fate of the earth rests with mankind. Are we up to the challenge?
By turns optimistic and chilling--and always profound--THE TRUTH MACHINE is nothing less than a history of the future, a spellbinding chronicle of developments in technology and evolutions in social conscience that resonate with insight, wisdom...and astounding possibility.
