LIARS AND OUTLIERS: ENABLING THE TRUST THAT SOCIETY NEEDS TO THRIVE

In this thought-provoking volume, the bestselling author of Secrets & Lies and Beyond Fear examines security's essential role in making society possible. Every society has a dishonest minority who breaks rules and doesn't follow group norms. They're not just the selfish; they include people with different morals. Security is how we protect ourselves from this dishonest minority within and what enables us to trust strangers at the local, national, and global scale.

This engaging and highly readable book explains why security will always exist, and why we're all better off if it isn't perfect. It covers:

• Our evolved security systems and their unique role in facilitating and stabilizing human society.
• How our deliberately created security systems support modern, complex societies.
• Where security is breaking down, as computer and communication systems replace existing social systems, and as technology gives that dishonest minority more power.
• The value of the dishonest minority, and how it serves as a catalyst for social change.

Bruce Schneier is a world-famous security technologist, regularly consulted by media, business, and governments. Like Schneier's other highly successful books, Liars and Outliers offers profound insights into the complex issue of security as well as a riveting reading experience.
