Autocracy, Inc

"Autocracy, Inc." by Anne Applebaum is an insightful non-fiction book that explores the functioning of modern autocracies and their impact on the democratic world. The Pulitzer Prize winner provides an alarming analysis that goes beyond traditional notions of autocracies. In an era where authoritarian regimes increasingly cooperate with one another, Applebaum highlights the complex networks that support these systems. Using examples from various countries, she demonstrates how kleptocratic structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists work together to undermine democracy. The book is not only a critical examination of the current political landscape but also a call to mobilize against these threats. It is essential reading for anyone looking to understand and address the challenges of our time.
