A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world

They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense.

For a decade, “woke” infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot.

But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up.

In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade.

Inside, Morgan takes aim at the madness wherever it's hiding and calls out the absurdity with humour, logic, and outrage. He pulls no punches as he tackles:

  • Hollywood hypocrisy – when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performance
  • Environ-mentalists – how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic straws
  • Go Woke, Go Broke – from brand deals to the price of moral posturing
  • Word Police – the battle over language and what you can and can't say
  • And much more

But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society.

Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.

Talks a lot of common sense in only a way that he can. He’s a marmite character and I for one like marmite. It’s always good to debate things and have other views alongside our own. I felt the sound quality was a little lacking at times either with earphones or through a speaker. Worth the effort.

Piers at full throttle

A bit droney, with a lot about Trump's presidential victory. Not much 'in depth' Woke analysis to be honest. Woke is still alive in the UK, but it is dying. (Check out the BBC unisex/non-gendered toilets). Narration is a bit monotonous. Douglas Murray is better. Only half way though, and can't return it, so will try to finish it off when I've read the works of Mark Twain.

Woke is not dead in the UK, but happily it's dying.

Clarion call for common sense. Excellent book to remind us all about common sense in this age of woke nonsense & victimhood we live in. Only criticism - a bit hurried in the narration.

I didn't think I liked Piers Morgan much.

This should be mandatory reading in schools all across Europe and the UK. Woke will be spoken about in the same manner as some of history’s wildest moments. Gift it to everyone you know this Christmas, it’s essential.
