The uncompromising Nick Cohen exposes the reality behind the
freedoms we enjoy in the book that won Polemic of the Year at the
2013 Political Book Awards. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the
collapse of Communism, and the advent of the Web which allowed for
even the smallest voice to be heard, everywhere you turned you were
told that we were living in an age of unparalleled freedom. 'You
Can't Read This Book' argues that this view is dangerously naive.
From the revolution in Iran that wasn't, to the Great Firewall of
China and the imposition of super-injunctions from the filthy rich
protecting their privacy, the traditional opponents of freedom of
speech - religious fanaticism, plutocratic power and dictatorial
states - are thriving and in many respects finding the world a more
comfortable place in the early 21st century than they did in the
late 20th.
