In the era of scripted appearances and virtual masks, Hypocrisy pulls down the masks to expose the underlying instability of modern human exchange. This urgent, unflinching investigation examines the pervasive dishonesty that courses through our social fabric-the scripted roles, the insincere gestures of empathy, and the covert quest for self-aggrandizement behind a veneer of virtue. From the political to the most intimate relationships, the book disassembles the art of pretended feeling, forcing the reader to confront an uncomfortable question: If we're all fakes, what's left of authentic society? Hypocrisy is an honest, much-needed read for anyone grappling with the uncomfortable truth about the world we've created together
