What will you sacrifice for the truth?
Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power. But her work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own government, spreading lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate, has landed her in trouble with the most powerful man in the country: President Duterte.
Now, hounded by the state, she has multiple arrest warrants against her name, and a potential 100+ years behind bars to prepare for - while she stands trial for speaking the truth.
How to Stand Up to a Dictator is the story of how democracy dies by a thousand cuts, and how an invisible atom bomb has exploded online that is killing our freedoms. It maps a network of disinformation - a heinous web of cause and effect - 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.

"This book is for anyone who might take democracy for granted"
As a Filipino, it makes me upset it took me so long to finally read this book, but I'm glad I finally did. Maria Ressa talks about her life, how she grew up in the Philippines and in the US & finding her identity as herself but most importantly, her identity as a reporter. The main part of the book is about journalism, how she witnessed the Golden Age of journalism and how easy it is to corrupt the media and people and how easy it is to be corrupted. Each page was an eye opening experience for me, each page I felt angry with the injustice that was described and each page I felt upset that I didn't know this was happening at the time. But each page made me realize how lucky the world is to have people like Maria Ressa, people who aren't afraid to stand up for what is right. I always looked for Filipino role-models growing up, even if I'm not a kid anymore, I strive to grow up to be someone like Maria Ressa.
