'Stand by for fireworks as it hits the shelves' SUNDAY TIMES 'If
Orwell were with us today, he'd be writing books like this' PATRICK
RADDEN KEEFE 'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN 'A
true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUM From the bestselling author of
Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland – a world where the
rich can buy everything – including the truth. Everywhere, the
powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all:
to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be
and impose that reality on the world.For three years, Tom Burgis
followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland –
the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the
Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked
town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis
hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast
sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet
dictators and the west’s ruling elites.And he found one man who
wanted the power to bend reality to his will. This book tells an
astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how
fragile that truth can be. Whether it’s in Kazakh torture chambers
or the UK’s High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control
of the truth.They decree what stories may be told about war and
money and power, what we are permitted to know – and more
importantly, what we are not. From the bestselling author of
Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that
reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and
technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of
free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few.
