«Liars and Outliers» is Bruce Schneier's essay on trust in society, published by Wiley in hardcover (384 pages, in English).
The essay starts from the premise that society cannot function without trust, even though there are always those who betray it. Bruce Schneier combines biology, psychology, and social sciences to explain how trust is sustained through social pressures, incentives, and laws, and how the hyperconnected society alters these mechanisms; certain transgression can foster innovation.
Original subtitle: «Enabling the Trust that Society Needs to Thrive». First edition, published on February 14, 2012.
Those interested in technology, security, sociology, and the philosophy of trust; accessible approach, no technical knowledge required.
