Book Summary

Things That Can and Cannot Be Said is a nonfiction work based on conversations between Arundhati Roy and John Cusack about war, democracy, surveillance, imperialism, and resistance. The book focuses heavily on the experiences and ideas of whistleblower Edward Snowden, who exposed secret mass surveillance programs run by the U.S. government. Through discussions and essays, the authors examine how governments use power, technology, and fear to control societies while limiting freedom and privacy. The book encourages readers to question authority, think critically about political systems, and understand the impact of modern warfare and surveillance on ordinary people. Written in a reflective and conversational style, the work combines political analysis with personal insight and highlights the importance of truth, dissent, and free expression in contemporary society.
