"From the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland – a world where the rich can buy everything – including the truth." – ANNE APPLEBAUM
In a world where the powerful strive to possess the ultimate treasure: the truth, a gripping narrative unfolds. Everywhere, a renewed claim emerges, asserting the authority truth. The power to shape reality as one desires and impose it upon the world.
For three years, Tom Burgis embarked on a captivating journey, delving deeper into the enigmatic realm of Cuckooland. The trail led him from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from the blood-soaked town square of Uzbekistan to the royal retreat of Scotland. Burgis relentlessly pursued oligarchs, cultivated secret sources, and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators, and the ruling elites of the West. In his quest, he discovered a singular individual driven by an insatiable desire to wield the power to bend reality to his will.
This book unveils an astonishing tale, unveiling the fragility of truth in diverse contexts, from Kazakh torture chambers to the UK's High Court. The lords of Cuckooland seize control of the truth, dictating the narratives surrounding war, money, and power. They determine what we are allowed to know and what remains shrouded in secrecy. From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland emerges as a meticulously researched work of non-fiction, reminiscent of a thrilling thriller. It is a story of how globalization and technological revolution have converged to jeopardize the very foundations of free societies: the notion that the truth rightfully belongs to the multitude, rather than a select few.
