He shows the unique role of trust in facilitating and stabilizing human society. He discusses why and how trust has evolved, why it works the way it does, and the ways the information society is changing everything.
Explore these themes in Liars and Outliers, where Schneier delves into the intricate dynamics of trust in our modern world.
