On September 11th, 1996, Bowie’s “Telling Lies” became the first ever downloadable single by a major artist, arriving on Bowie’s website in three different formats, released over three weeks (a traditional single was later released in November).Īs a song, “Telling Lies” is … well, it’s pretty generic drum ‘n’ bass with some brooding Bowie lyrics (“swear to me in times of war and stress”) and no real hook.

If the music industry was going to undergo a tumultuous shift, it might as well have had David Bowie providing the soundtrack. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters-even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.“I am the future / I’m tomorrow / I am the end.” - David Bowie, “Telling Lies”

Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand 'micro expressions' and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent-a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught?
