How has that trust – in our laws, our media, our governments – been lost, and how can it be won back? Examining the police, the rule of law, artificial intelligence, the 21st century city and social media, Ros Taylor imagines what life might be like in years to come if trust continues to erode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave conspiracy theories permanently damaged our society? Will technological advances, which require more and more of our human selves, ultimately be rejected by future generations? And in a world fast approaching irreversible levels of ecological damage, how can we trust the custodians of these institutions to do the right thing – even as humanity faces catastrophe?\"Interesting, thought-provoking... a really good read\" -\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eTimes Radio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Ros Taylor is onto something big which, to my  astonishment, nobody  before her has ever given the focus or scholarship  she brings.
