"Everyone who cares about what’s happening in the world as national and tech dictators exercise greater unaccountable power over our lives needs to read this book right now to learn from Maria Ressa how to wage The Fight Back. You couldn’t have a better guide than Maria, a brave journalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, who stood against both Duerte and Zuckerberg despite their best efforts to ignore and silence her. She’s taken the lessons she learned to tell all of us how we can overcome fear and despair to hold leaders responsible for the harms they’re causing. This is the call to action we need now." — Hillary Rodham Clinton

"This is a timely and crucial book. It provides a clear plan for how to save democracy in the age of AI. Equally important, it gives readers the courage to hold the line." — Yuval Noah Harari

“A practical guide for rejecting cynicism and resisting tyranny—from a woman who has done both.” — Amal Clooney

"Maria gives us hope—and a playbook—for building a new era of democracy, where journalism thrives, facts unite us, and power answers to the people." — Christy Tanner, CEO & President, New York Public Radio

“The Fight Back is nothing less than a survival guide for democracy. Drawing on her own experiences as a journalist, media founder and public intellectual, Maria Ressa lays out with dazzling clarity the way in which political and technological autocrats are destroying not just democracy but humanity itself, and offers a practical, step-by-step guide for resistance. For anyone who’s ever said change is impossible, The Fight Back lays out clearly what each of us must do in this moment. Buy everyone you know a copy.” — Jodie Ginsberg, CEO, Committee to Protect Journalists

“This is a manifesto for our times: a bold, brilliant, gut-punch of a book, with an inbuilt action plan for change. The plan is forged from Maria’s experience as a target of legal, financial, physical and online attacks, all designed to silence her—but instead they lit a fire." — Caoilfhionn Gallagher KC, human rights lawyer

“Maria Ressa is a relentless and fearless leader who ignites a room and leaves you wanting more. Clear, urgent and gobsmackingly necessary, The Fight Back is the next best thing to having Maria in your pocket: an impeccable guide to where we are, where we need to go and what each of us can do to get there.” — Baroness Beeban Kidron, UK Crossbench Peer and author of Users
