Julia Ebner puts her finger on some of the most important questions that writers face, not just in our turbulent times, but across all ages:

- Who controls language?

- Are you using language or being used by it?

- Are some people's truths more truthful than others?

- How does language change to meet the context of the day?

Arming us with critical skills, it's worth reading if you're into the culture war, gender studies, toxic masculinity, incels, the patriarchy, fourth wave feminism, conspiracy theories, the far right, terrorism, deradicalisation and that sort of stuff.
