On Censorship – signed edition

Artist and activist Ai Weiwei describes censorship as an invisible, pervasive and global force, often taken for granted and driven by both commercial interests and political agendas. Drawing on his own experiences, he shows how censorship works in an era of big data, mass surveillance and new control technologies, and makes a powerful plea for freedom of expression.

He explains that censorship is found overtly in authoritarian regimes through propaganda and editing, but also more covertly in democratic societies, where international corporations, cultural institutions, social media, and ideologies of “freedom” can create new and more subtle forms of suppression of speech.

As something very special, this book is a signed edition.
