About the book
Timur Kuran analyzes the social phenomenon of "preference falsification": how people hide their true opinions in public out of fear of judgment, creating an illusion of consensus. The book explores how this dynamic shapes politics, culture, and collective behavior, often resulting in abrupt social changes when the silence breaks. A profound investigation into authenticity, conformism, and intellectual integrity.
