He also examines the role of technology in shaping our beliefs and values, and how it has contributed to the spread of misinformation and fake news.Throughout the book, Slocum challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions, and to consider the ways in which our fictions are shaping our future. He argues that we need to be more critical and reflective in our thinking, and to work towards creating a more just and sustainable world.Overall, ''The Great Fictions Which Are Ruining Mankind'' is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
