Liars and Outliers
Praise for LIARS & OUTLIERS
"Without trust, nothing can be achieved. Liars and Outliers is a brilliant analysis of the role of trust in society and business."
—Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum
"Schneier absolutely understands how profoundly trust oils the wheels of business and of daily life."
—Margaret Heffernan, Author of Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future and Beyond Measure: The Big Impact of Small Changes
"Liars and Outliers is an absolutely fascinating and groundbreaking book. While written years before AI, which is often seen as a catch-all to solve all of humanity's problems, Schneier compellingly shows that in our complex society, there are no simple solutions."
—Ben Rothke, Senior Information Security Manager, Tapad
"Brilliantly dissects, classifies, and orders the social dimension of security-a spectacularly palatable tonic against today's incoherent and dangerous flailing in the face of threats from terrorism to financial fraud."
—Cory Doctorow, Author of Little Brother and Makers, Co-editor of BoingBoing.net
"Trust is the sine qua non of the networked age and trust is predicated on security. Bruce Schneier's expansive and readable work is rich with insights that can help us make our shrinking world a better one."
—Don Tapscott, Co-author of Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World
