What happens when free speech isn’t cancelled by governments, but by hashtags, algorithms, and tutting strangers on Twitter?
Shhh! You’re Offended: The Death (and Afterlife) of Free Speech is a brilliantly funny and biting satire of outrage culture, cancel mobs, and the absurd lengths we now go to just to avoid offending anyone.
British satirist Arthur Rantwell takes listeners on a laugh-out-loud journey through the minefield of modern conversation, where every opinion is a potential scandal and every apology is a performance worthy of the West End.
Inside you’ll discover:
- Why social media outrage is Britain’s true national sport.
- How cancel culture follows a strict three-act play: Accusation, Apology, Redemption Tour.
- The rise of safe spaces, therapy otters, and beanbags as tools of survival.
- Why algorithms ban trifle photos but allow conspiracy theories.
- The absurd hacks people invent to avoid cancellation — parrots, emojis, and interpretive dance included.
- A glimpse into the future, where Parliament communicates entirely in jazz hands and comedians win BAFTAs for saying absolutely nothing.
Packed with parody case studies, tongue-in-cheek “survival tips,” and enough British wit to power the National Grid, this book is both a satire and a survival guide for anyone bewildered by the modern rules of speech.
Warning: May cause laughter, eye-rolling, or spontaneous tutting. Proceed at your own risk.
