Recessional: The Death of Free Speech and the Cost of a Free Lunch, by David Mamet — The Book Review

I was intrigued by David Mamet’s book after hearing him in conversation on Joe Rogan’s famed or perhaps infamous podcast. Mamet lives in California and had traveled to Texas where The Joe Rogan Experience is recorded.

When Rogan pointed out what a strange place California has become, describing it as “almost unrecognizable,” Mamet responded: “Well, it would be recognizable to George Orwell.” This was the jumping off for Mamet’s 3 hour long conversation with Rogan. The more Mamet shared, the more curious I became about his new book.
