There's very little meat on this bone; Doyle rabbits on for 22 pages before giving the first example of the problem he's meant to be examining. DNF at page 45 (although I perused the epilogue to make sure) because it's so damned boring, recounting the Salem witch trials and telling us what others have said about cancel culture rather than actually building a convincing argument. (I don't disagree with the premise that knee-jerk social activism is problematic but jeez, present some facts already!)… (plus d'informations)

I'm grateful that Doyle decided to start writing serious books, as this effort at comedy is just boring. I think Titania McGrath is really much better on Twitter than in book form. On Twitter, she can be hilarious. I wonder why the difference?

Hilariously enough, the Guardian gave this a rather sniffy review, totally unrelated I'm sure to the fact that the book lampoons a number of their self important columnists.

This important book counters the growing tide of free speech skeptics. The author makes a clear and concise case for the need for free speech, its importance, and what it is. This is a welcome defense of free speech - would that we did not so sorely need a book like this.
