**A leading data visualization expert explores the negative—and positive—influences that charts have on our perception of truth.** Today, public conversations are increasingly driven by numbers.

To be informed citizens, we must all be able to decode and use the visual information that politicians, journalists, and even our employers present us with each day. Demystifying an essential new literacy for our data-driven world, __How Charts Lie__ examines contemporary examples ranging from election result infographics to global GDP maps and box office record charts, as well as an updated afterword on the graphics of the COVID-19 pandemic.
