“Mandela was not the only head of state taken in by Koagne. Le king kept snapshots of himself with many a man of power, among them Mobutu Sese Seko and Denis Sassou Nguesso […] He took Mobutu for 15 million dollars. Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso lost 40 million to him. Sassou, Etienne Eyadéma of Togo, several high officials of Gabon, Tanzania and Kenya, a member of the Spanish government and an ex-operative of the Israeli Mossad were bamboozled as well.” – Dominique Malaquais (Blood Money: A Douala Chronicle).

Product Details

In this post-truth era, how can we navigate the endless supply of information and choose a viable narrative of reality? In "How to Know What's Really Going On," Glasgow-based writer and curator Francis McKee looks at the many techniques for determining what the truth is, from the perspectives of spy agencies and secret informants to mystics and scientists.

Francis McKee is an Irish writer, medical historian, and curator based in Glasgow. Since 2006, he has been Director of the Centre for Contemporary Arts. He is also a lecturer and research fellow at the Glasgow School of Art. He also worked on developing open-source ideologies and their practical applications in artistic spaces.
