Echoes of Orwell: The Erosion of Free Speech and the Silencing of Dissent. In this timely and thought-provoking work, I delve into the growing threat to one of our most fundamental rights, free speech, and the troubling trend toward censorship and suppression of dissent in the modern world.

Having grown up in post-war Britain, I was accustomed to an era where free expression was a cornerstone of democratic society. However, as I observe the current political and social landscape, I see the gradual erosion of these freedoms. Echoes of Orwell explores this shift through the lens of George Orwell's prescient warnings in works such as 1984 and Animal Farm.

In this book, I examine the forces behind the increasing censorship of speech, from the rise of digital platforms and their control over public discourse, to the encroachment of authoritarian models of speech control in Western democracies. Chapters cover a broad range of contexts, including the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Canada, and China, offering a global perspective on the convergence toward speech regulation.
