Description
Cuckooland: Where the Rich Own the Truth A deeply reported work of non-fiction, Cuckooland reveals how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world is being seized by the rich, who are buying everything - including the truth. From the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, and from Kazakh torture chambers to the UK's High Court, Tom Burgis exposes the secrets and lies that reveal how fragile the truth can be. This is a story of how the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth, decreeing what stories may be told about war, money, and power, and what we are permitted to know. A true-life thriller that reads like a deeply reported work of non-fiction, Cuckooland is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of power, truth, and free societies.
