Never in human history was there such a chance for freedom of
expression. If we have Internet access, any one of us can publish
almost anything we like and potentially reach an audience of
millions. Never was there a time when the evils of unlimited speech
flowed so easily across frontiers: violent intimidation, gross
violations of privacy, tidal waves of abuse. A pastor burns a Koran
in Florida and UN officials die in Afghanistan. Drawing on a
lifetime of writing about dictatorships and dissidents, Timothy
Garton Ash argues that in this connected world that he calls
cosmopolis, the way to combine freedom and diversity is to have
more but also better free speech. Across all cultural divides we
must strive to agree on how we disagree. He draws on a
thirteen-language global online project - freespeechdebate.com -
conducted out of Oxford University and devoted to doing just that.
With vivid examples, from his personal experience of China's
Orwellian censorship apparatus to the controversy around Charlie
Hebdo to a very English court case involving food writer Nigella
Lawson, he proposes a framework for civilized conflict in a world
where we are all becoming neighbours.
