On Wednesday, May 13, the Atlantic staff writer Gal Beckerman will sit down with podcast host Adam Harris to discuss Beckerman’s new book, How to Be a Dissident. Beckerman’s book is part philosophy, part history, and part manual for living with integrity in an age of conformity and authoritarian drift. In How to Be a Dissident, Beckerman draws on the stories of dissidents from around the globe and across time, to provide models for pushing back against tyranny. Harris and Beckerman will discuss the defining characteristics that such extraordinary figures share, and the lessons they can offer.
Attendees can submit questions in advance for Beckerman to answer live during the session. Submit your questions here.
To join the conversation, return to this page on Wednesday, May 13, at noon ET. Or add the event to your calendar.
How to Be a Dissident is available wherever books are sold.
