We’re about to live in a world where nobody can tell truth from fiction.

I would argue that our long history of devising myths indicates we have always lived so.

That's a fair assessment, but I think it's going to get a whole lot worse.

Before, to the degree that nobody could figure out the truth, it was largely due to lack of information/evidence. The future will instead have evidence manufactured for whatever opinion you like.
