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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003ecivilized\u003c\/i\u003e conflict in a world where we are all becoming neighbors.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Garton Ash\u003c\/b\u003e is Isaiah Berlin Professorial Fellow at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford; Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University; and a regular contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the winner of the 2017 Charlemagne Prize and has won the Orwell Prize for Journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 504\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52615580549402,"sku":"9780300226942","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/5604\/6618\/files\/jbA5ryvuxx9780300226942.webp?v=1785443055","url":"https:\/\/j-s-five-and-dime.myshopify.com\/products\/free-speech-ten-principles-for-a-connected-world-paperback","provider":"J \u0026 S Five and Dime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
