About the Book
We built an internet that moves data at the speed of light. But we forgot to build an internet that can tell the truth.
In the age of Generative AI, the marginal cost of creating a lie - a deepfake, a hallucination, a phishing bot - has dropped to zero. When lies are free, truth becomes the most expensive asset on earth.
We are attempting to run a 21st-century Agentic Economy on 20th-century reputation systems. We rely on "blue checks," centralized gatekeepers, and static credentials that can be bought, faked, or captured. These analog tools are collapsing under the weight of the "Zero-Cost Lie."
The Trust Crisis is not a social failure. It is an architectural failure.
In The Market for Truth, technologist and researcher Ali Sadhik Shaik argues that we cannot regulate our way out of this crisis. We must engineer our way out.
Drawing on Game Theory, Institutional Economics, and Cryptography, Shaik introduces the Klyrox Protocol - a revolutionary middleware standard that replaces subjective human trust with objective financial liability. This book is not just a critique of the "Post-Truth Era"; it is a technical blueprint for the "Verification Age."
