"How to Be a Dissident" explores the qualities and practices of historical and contemporary dissidents, offering a guide to living with integrity amidst modern pressures of conformity and authoritarianism. Drawing on stories from figures like Socrates, Ai Weiwei, Hannah Arendt, and Iris Murdoch, the book examines ten key attributes for challenging injustice and speaking truth to power. Blending history, biography, and cultural criticism, it encourages all readers to cultivate their innate capacity for dissent in an increasingly polarized world.
