It’s hardly surprising we feel that way. Our politics is polarised\, our online world is awash with misinformation\, and we’ve lost faith in our bedrock institutions. Yet\, without trust\, we cannot work together to solve the big problems we face.But there is a way back. A way to rediscover trust in our leaders and institutions. A way to tackle the doubt.This insightful collection of essays brings together top thinkers from across the globe in media\, science\, government\, academia and business to examine how and why trust is disappearing\, and how we might navigate these confusing times.From expert minds in business\, science and law enforcement the book explains how to maintain trust and how easily it can be broken\, and leaders on the front line of technological development describe the influence of bots\, conspiracy theories and generative AI.If we are to address the big issues facing our world\, then we must have trust\, because without it we have no sense of shared reality. Alone\, we can’t do it. Together\, we might. \nAbout the authorsTracey Kirkland is an Australian news journalist who has worked in broadcast and print for more than 30 years.
