FSU Online Speakeasy: That Book is Dangerous!

Thursday 4th September, 2025 The FSU’s Jan Macvarish meets US author Adam Szetela. Adam's new book, https://www.amazon.co.uk/That-Book-Da... That Book is Dangerous: How Moral Panic, Social Media and the Culture Wars are Remaking Publishing has received high praise from eminent free speech defenders such as Steven Pinker and Nadine Strossen for its exposé of the culture of censorship that has taken hold in the world of books. Informed by interviews with presidents and vice presidents at the Big Five US publishers, literary agents at the most prestigious agencies, award-winning authors, editors, marketers, sensitivity readers, and other industry professionals to examine the new publishing landscape, the book catalogues the new challenges to literary freedom. Mandatory sensitivity readers, morality clauses in author contracts, even censorship of “dangerous” books in the name of antiracism, feminism, and other forms of social justice—all familiar to us in Britain—have transformed the freedom of authors to express themselves and of readers to judge for themselves. That Book Is Dangerous! is a much-needed wake-up call for anyone who cares about reading, writing, and the publication of books—as well as the generations of young readers we are raising.
