For a time, Amazon made it difficult to purchase his book, a tactic marginally better than simply refusing to sell the book, as Amazon had done with other authors. It steals our private data, surveils our every move, addicts our children, and suppresses dissenting opinions, all of which endanger the bedrock principle of our republic: the capacity of citizens to govern themselves. The second and main story details the various ways in which Big Tech harms America. News of the cancellation did nothing to harm sales, and The Tyranny of Big Tech rocketed to the top of the bestseller lists when it appeared earlier this year. Not long after, the conservative Regnery Publishing announced it would bring out Hawley’s book.
But after demonstrators rioted in the Capitol, Hawley’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, cancelled his contract-according to the New York Times, because Hawley was illegally attempting to overthrow the election results. Following President Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat, Hawley announced he would challenge the certification of Pennsylvania’s electoral college votes on January 6, the day Congress was to meet to ratify the results. First, briefly sketched, is the ugly backstory. Although the title of senator Josh Hawley’s (R., Missouri) new book gives no hint of this, The Tyranny of Big Tech packs three stories into one slim volume.
