How to Stand Up to a Dictator

 
　　數十年來，瑪麗亞．瑞薩始終堅持報導真實。但她追蹤菲律賓政府所培植、對人民散播謊言的假訊息網絡的努力，卻也讓她身陷險境，成為前總統杜特蒂的眼中釘，多次被發布逮捕令。
 
　　「為了追求真相，你願意做出什麼犧牲？」
 
　　本書是瑞薩的答案。是關於她所看見的──當真相被隱瞞、信賴無以為繼，民主有可能如何邁向死亡；關於一顆隱形的原子彈已經在網路世界引爆、摧毀自由於無形；關於假訊息網絡系統，是如何網住了世界：從杜特蒂的反毒戰、美國國會暴動、英國脫歐、俄羅斯與中國的網路戰，到臉書與矽谷，到我們的每一次點擊與每一張選票。
 
　　《How to Stand Up to a Dictator》是瑞薩身處這場戰爭最前線的故事，也是她最急迫的呼籲：在一切太遲之前，我們必須起身捍衛民主自由的防線。(文/博客來編譯)

　　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.
