Razor-sharp provocative confessions by Rupert Murdoch's troublemaker-in-chief on how Murdoch gained and lost the crow during the satellite and internet upheavals and how the news must resist the AI.

In a razor-sharp witty memoir Jonathan Miller pulls back the curtain on Murdoch, media, tech and the news in a way that is bound to provoke debate.
The young Jonathan Miller had an innate talent to annoy authority as a pupil at Bedales school. When he discovered that the news can be like a hand grenade, he had found his calling.
In pursuit of creating a stir, he ended up in many different places, from Rupert Murdoch’s tech adviser and disruptor-in-chief, to war reporting in Kosovo, the UK’s first news site, Piers Morgan’s Uncensored and bare-knuckle reporting on the follies of rural Britain.
These spiky confessions trace through the Murdoch empire’s secrets, the tech revolution that preceded the web, Bart Simpson, Margaret Thatcher, the doomed fate of wokeness, and trouble in an era flattened by AI. Tech and the media world will never look the same...

Jonathan Miller has worked in the UK, Europe and US as a Rupert Murdoch tech advisor, media founder, Sunday Times leader writer and columnist, war correspondent, and contributor to the New York Times, Washington Post and MSNBC. A Macron-watcher, he currently writes for the Spectator and Daily Mail.
