<strong>From the best-loved author of Pages & Co comes the thrilling second book in the Chronicles of Whetherwhy series - a magical quest to the very edges of Whetherwhy</strong> <br/><br/>At the magical Circus Astra, Elio helps his father look after Tangles - miniature tigers, mice with butterfly wings and a peacock made of ice crystals. Always on the move, the circus puts on incredible performances across the land of Whetherwhy under the stern eye of their ringleader Stella. <br/><br/>But after the arrival of mysterious visitors to one of their performances, Elio discovers that he has something the queen of Whetherwhy wants, something she will stop at nothing to get. Elio must leave the circus behind and team up with some unexpected friends, on a journey that will take him to the very edges of the map ... and to discoveries that will change everything: for himself, and for all of Whetherwhy.

What if a lie is told to reveal some underlying truth? Are feelings that seem inappropriate, such as the hysteria following the death of a celebrity, any less real or true than the grief we feel over the death of a loved one? Even if the plot of an opera seems preposterous, can't it still express strong human emotions that ring true with the audience?<br/><br/>At the heart of the book lies Werner Herzog's concept of 'ecstatic truth' - a truth that is often hidden behind the facts and our conceptions of reality but can be gleaned through the poetic imagination, in art, literature and cinema, when we open ourselves up to an aesthetic experience.<br/><br/>Written in Herzog's inimitable tyle, the stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from present-day deep fakes and the opportunities and perils of AI to Ancient Egyptian and Rome, where rulers resorted to lies and propaganda in the same way as governments do today; from Scott's and Amundson's race to the South Pole to alien abduction stories and the making of Herzog's own films.<br/><br/>With its singular vision and unique voice, <i>The Future of Truth</i> is an iconoclastic meditation on the relationship between fact and fiction, evidence and the imagination, by one of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers in the world today.
