Deepfake Society: The Crisis of Identity in an Age of Digital Doubles is not just a wake-up call-it's an intellectual intervention. In this groundbreaking work, sociologist Tariq Vosselaar explores how deepfake technology, synthetic identity, and voice cloning are not merely technical curiosities but psychological and societal earthquakes that are reshaping the very nature of truth, trust, and selfhood.
Drawing from philosophy, behavioural psychology, and real-world case studies, this book plunges into the moral and emotional chaos unleashed by digital deception. From political manipulation and fake news to romantic betrayal and identity theft, Vosselaar shows how we are entering a post-truth society where deepfake technology threatens to erase the boundary between real and unreal, self and simulation.
Whether you're a parent, policymaker, educator, or just a digitally aware human, this book arms you with the insight to navigate a world of digital deception and trust collapse. Through provocative thought experiments and philosophical reflection, it asks: When your reflection lies, who are you really?
For readers of media studies, artificial intelligence ethics, and anyone grappling with the crisis of digital doubles, this book delivers not reassurance-but relevance, resonance, and a roadmap to reclaiming reality
