It explores how secrets are created, how they influence us (even if we don’t consciously know they are there), and the risks we take in exploring them. He tells us the difference between dark and light secrets.

Through many fascinating examples, it shows us how to recognize crucial gaps and silences, reconstruct missing information and decipher partial memories.
