Maria Ressa has advocated for social justice for many years. The most powerful man in the nation, President Duterte, has taken issue with her work tracking disinformation networks planted by her own administration that spread lies to its own populace laced with wrath and hatred. She is currently being pursued by the state, has several arrest warrants out for her, and must get ready to spend at least 100 years in prison while she is on trial for telling the truth. The book How to Stand Up to a Dictator tells the tale of how our freedoms are being decimated online by an unseen atom bomb that has erupted. It depicts a web of cause and effect and a disinformation network that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars, to America's Capitol Hill, to Britain's Brexit, to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare, to Facebook and Silicon Valley, to our own clicks and our own votes. Told from the frontline of the digital war, this is Maria Ressa's urgent cry for us to wake up and hold the line, before it is too late.
