The notion of honesty, or the lack thereof, is, when you stop to think about it, a uniquely human concept. Few animals are capable of true deception, making the human capacity for lying one of our most dangerous features. Science fiction loves exploring this concept, especially when it comes to concepts of telepathy. In Alfred Bester's 1953 classic novel, The Demolished Man (and the first novel to ever win a Hugo award), a world of telepathy makes premeditated crime impossible.
