Summary
Who Can You Trust? by Rachel Botsman explores how trust is evolving in the digital age. The book explains how technology, platforms, and peer-to-peer systems have shifted trust away from traditional institutions toward strangers and decentralized networks. Botsman examines concepts like trust signals, reputation systems, and how we decide whom to trust online—from Airbnb hosts to online reviews. Through research and real-world examples, she shows how trust is built, lost, and transformed in modern society. The core message is that understanding how trust works is essential for navigating relationships, business, and decision-making in an increasingly connected world.
