The best book of 2017 was “Sapiens” until I read “The era of Post Truth”.
It talks about how to survive in a world where people easily believe a lie or fake news and they are (3)compelled to deny the inconvenient truth.
I’m confused because I don’t know what should I believe. These days there are several controversial political topics in Japan. The Prime minister and his close advisor lack transparency.
In 2015, a young female journalist, Shiori Ito had been sexually abused by the journalist, Noriyuki Yamaguchi. Surprisingly, he wasn’t arrested because the arrest warrant was ★confiscated by the manager of the police headquarters. The manager, Itaru Nakamura helped the suspect because Yamaguchi has written 2 books about Prime minister Abe and is really close to him.
She filed an objection at the inquest of prosecution held in October 2017.
It (1)connotes that the system should reflect the will of people’s actual right of prosecution hence the name, inquest of prosecution. Unfortunately, her objection was rejected. I was surprised to see many anonymous insults directed at her on the internet. One insult mentioned that she used bait and switch tactics on Mr.Yamaguchi. One tweeted their unfounded speculation which she wanted to get a high career, so she tempted him. I couldn’t believe my eyes. This kind of insult and fake information and hate speech has to be (2)confined.
However, it hasn’t been given much thought in Japan. The book “The era of Post Truth” shows several examples and ways of getting urgent solutions. That is the reason why I deemed it the best of 2017.
