The Future of Truth: How AI Reshapes Reality
Not yet published
Expected 12 May 26Truth was never simple, but facts were facts. Now, even
that
is changing. You feel the drift—the blur—as stories bend, facts fracture, and reality starts to feel . . . negotiable.
That’s not failure—it’s the fight for the future of Truth.
In The Future of Truth, we go on a truth treasure hunt. Author, filmmaker, and media explorer Steven Rosenbaum sets out to understand how this is happening—and what comes next. What begins as a personal investigation becomes something stranger and more a story about systems captured, consensus collapsing, and humans caught in the digital crossfire.
In these pages, we’ll
How Truth is being bent, blurred, and synthesized, and how the ways we love, work, learn, and remember are changing—even history is no longer trusted Why institutions we recently trusted—medicine, education, justice, journalism—are collapsing under pressure of fast-moving, profit-driven AI What happens when war is waged with data, protests are hijacked by bots, and power hides behind precision algorithms How, in their hunger for clarity, robots erase Truth’s messy, beautiful middle, replacing it with something cold, confident, and designed to serve soulless AI, not the humans who built it
At the heart of the book are exclusive, provocative conversations with some of the most original thinkers of our wild-haired philosopher David Chalmers calls it “a simulated reality crisis.” Cultural provocateur Douglas Rushkoff says, “Truth has been coded for profit.” Legal legend Larry Lessig warns of “an attention economy built to distort.” AI truth-teller Gary Marcus sees “confidence without comprehension.” Gen Z literary leader Hailey Colborn, raised inside the feed, says “Truth isn’t something you find—it’s something you perform.” And futurists and reformers Juan Enriquez, Esther Dyson, Steve Fuller, and Eli Pariser each offer raw, urgent, and provocative visions on where Truth is headed—and whether we can still catch it before it falls off a cliff.
Part cultural investigation, part memoir, and part manifesto, The Future of Truth is a wild journey into the collapse—and the humans determined to rebuild Truth into something better, before AI rewrites reality without us.

January 24, 2026Hi, I'm the writer (Steve Rosenbaum, not Pam :), so needless to say, I've read it - and think about the Future of Truth pretty much all the time. If you'd like to pre-order, i'll send you a personalized, signed bookplate. You can share the receipt here: https://thefutureoftruth.us/bookplate/
