A personal hero of mine... she's an important warning for the rest of us' 'Maria Ressa is five feet two inches, but she stands taller than most in her pursuit of the truth' How to Stand up to a Dictator maps a network of disinformation that spans the globe and affects what you click on, how you think, and how you vote - from Britain's Brexit to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ; from Chinese cyber-warfare to America's Capitol Hill and Silicon Valley. Told from the frontline of the digital war, this is Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa's urgent cry for all of us to wake up and hold the line, and to fight for our collective future before it is too late.

Wonna, their neighbour, pregnant with a child that she can't afford.
