How to Stand Up to a Dictator by Maria Ressa

5.0

---

This is a manifesto per modern times. The book is as inspiring as Maria. Her personal story is perfectly balanced with the description of the situation of the Philipiness and a global message on the importance of journalism, democracy, information, the challenges big techs are bringing to the infosphere combined with a call to activism. Her humbleness really transpires from the book and how she found her way to fight for her country and find her voice as a woman, journalist, editor, activist and citizen.
