Pick it up because it's short. Continue it because of the brutal Bavarian accent. Finish it because maybe he's on to something?
The Future of Truth
By: Werner Herzog Published: 2025 128 Pages
Briefly, what is this book about?
Legendary badass, and sometimes filmmaker Werner Herzog weighs in on the concept of truth, how best to represent truth, and what's happening to it. Drawing on his own experiences he distinguishes between dry, factual truth, and what he calls ecstatic truth, a deeper kind of truth revealed by art.
Who should read this book?
I don't think anyone should literally read this book. It's best consumed as an audiobook with Herzog's strangely compelling narration carrying you along. With a voice like Herzog's and clocking in at only 3.5 hours of audio, it almost doesn't matter what it's about.
