Introducing… Brendan O’Neill’s new book!

Can a woman have a penis? Is the West forever stained by racism? Are we all going to die from climate change? Somehow, these have become the great, pressing questions of our age – and anyone who doesn’t answer them ‘correctly’ is damned as a racist, climate-denying transphobe. Our elites have become convinced of some very strange and destructive ideas, meanwhile the space for ordinary people to dissent is shrinking.

We desperately need more heretics. That is the rallying cry of Brendan O’Neill’s brilliant new spiked book, A Heretic’s Manifesto, which we are delighted to announce will be published on 5 June. Across these original essays, tackling everything from identity politics to Covid authoritarianism, Brendan remakes the case for heresy – while committing a few heresies of his own along the way.

It’s this summer’s anti-woke must-read. But don’t take our word for it. ‘You must buy this book before it’s banned by the new inquisition’, says Tony Abbott, former PM of Australia. ‘Brendan O’Neill is the reincarnation of Christopher Hitchens’, says Nick Gillespie, editor-at-large of Reason. According to the great Andrew Doyle, A Heretic’s Manifesto is a ‘timely and powerful defence of Enlightenment values’. You really don’t want to miss this.
