Cancel Culture is one of the worst scourges of modern woke-ravaged society. This important and very timely book explains what it is, how it works, and how best to deal with it. It should be required reading for everyone who believes in freedom of speech -- Piers Morgan * author Wake Up * The growing regime of censorship, slander, and punishment against anyone who questions establishment orthodoxy is locking us into error and corroding the credibility of our institutions. No one has documented the facts and causes of this alarming trend more thoroughly than Greg Lukianoff, joined here by a collaborator, Rikki Schlott -- Steven Pinker * author of Rationality * Cancel Culture is very real and very dangerous - and this book is the most comprehensive look at the rot threatening our institutions and freedoms -- Ben Shapiro * founder of The Daily Wire * Brilliant . . . takes us one step further than simply describing and analyzing the problem. They offer serious, rational, and cogent solutions. An essential book for all those who find Cancel Culture alarming -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali * author of Heretic * Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott make an inconvertible case: If we had set out as a society to generate a doctrine designed specifically to demoralize young people-to deprive them of hope and fill them with anxiety-we could not have done better than Cancel Culture, which emphasizes victimhood, emotional fragility, a penchant for avoidance and the absolute right to self-conceptualization. We've enabled the purveyors of malicious gossip, the reputation-savagers, the masters of innuendo-and allowed them to cloak themselves in the guise of compassion. Lukianoff and Schlott are rightly calling on all of us to stand up and say so -- Jordan B. Peterson * author of 12 Rules for Life * A humanizing and passionate cry for intellectual independence and those who want to think and speak for themselves -- Andrew Yang * co-founder of the Forward Party * This riveting book presents compelling stories about Cancel Culture and its devastating impact ... a game-changer in the Culture Wars -- Nadine Strossen * former president of the ACLU *
