I'd like to cast a string "false" to a boolean.
So is there a way to cast such a string to a boolean (without using
conditions)?
The string "false" will evaluate to true, any way you slice it. The
only strings that evaluate to false are "" and "0".

I suppose you could eval the string... But you should think hard
before doing this. I can't image a justification for it. If you're
getting input for a false value as "false" you should really use some
kind of conditional statement.
