![Panics and Persecutions (Quillette): 20 Quillette Tales of Excommunication in the Digital Age](http://monsterbookshop.co.uk/cdn/shop/files/9781913606824_f04217f2-9e9d-411d-b203-f693bba6f911.jpg?v=1716036439&width=1445)
In an age when telling the wrong joke or using the wrong pronoun can cost you your career, Quillette magazine - founded in 2015 by Australian-based journalist Claire Lehmann - has provided a forum for thinkers of all political stripes to push back against the forces of intellectual conformity. Panics and Persecutions brings together a collection of especially compelling Quillette narratives, spanning subcultures from computer science to romance literature. These stories lay bare the human toll of modern ideological inquisitions, often in deeply personal terms-and demonstrate the urgency of Quillette's editorial mission to create a space where free thought lives. Edited by Claire Lehmann, Colin Wright, Jamie Palmer, Jonathan Kay and Toby Young.
