In this fascinating history of the lie detector, Ken Alder exposes some persistent truths
about our culture: why we long to know the secret thoughts of our fellow citizens; why
we believe in popular science; and why we embrace truthiness. For centuries people
searched in vain for a way to unmask liars, seeking clues in the body s outward signs:
in blushing cheeks and shifty eyes. Not until the
1920s
did a cop with a PhD team up
with an entrepreneurial high school student and claim to have invented a foolproof
machine capable of peering directly into the human heart. Scientists repudiated the
technique, and judges banned its results from criminal trials, but in a few years their
polygraph had transformed police work, seized headlines, and enthralled the nation.
In this book, Alder explains why America—and only America-has embraced this me-
chanicol method of reading the human soul. Over the course of the twentieth century,
the lie detector became integral to our ¡ustice system, employment markets, and
national security apparatus, transforming each into a game of bluff and bluster. The
lie detector device may not reliably read the human mind, but this lively account shows
that the instrument s history offers a unique window into the American soul.
