About this listen

In Woke, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism, Titania is uniquely placed to guide her listeners through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute 21st-century 'wokeness'. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don't read the Guardian.

Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn't understand what 'nonbinary' means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.

Timely and indispensable, Titania's step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her.

"Beautiful classic satire." (Ricky Gervais)

A powerful parody of the woke phenomenon. Clever, insightful and genuinely funny throughout. Also, the narrator does a fine job - this is one of those books which needs to be performed in a particular style and Alice Marshall nails it.

A magnificent work of satire

Absolutely spot on. I will recommend it to everyone I know. So accurate to how things are going these days

Just Brilliant

A tour de force by Ms McGrath, as she calls to attention the staggering internal inconsistencies of the woke narrative with brilliant wit and knowledge of the subject.

Spectacular satire

This book had me laughing out loud in public. As witty as woke, it touched on many of societies sensitivities in exactly the right manner. Nicely done!

Seen the hype about the book some time back, added to wish list.... finally got round to listening! Glad I did! Hilarious.... but scary!

Highly recommended!

Perfectly encapsulates those Woke views which are on the ascendancy and gaining dominance in so many areas of modern society. Extremely funny but worryingly true. The slam poetry is spot on and reminds me of those awful verses of Kate Tempest.

Passed the six-laugh test for me during the five minute preview, and is just full of brilliant, pseudo-progressive lines like "He-Man was at least progressive enough to announce his pronouns." She's a modern-day Nathan Barley.

It's made me want to be less judgemental, and ironically, since it takes the mickey out of her mercilessly, it got me thinking about my review of a Laurie Penny novella, which I dismissed entirely because of its ageism and other problematic elements.

Much as I enjoyed this book, though, half of the joke is missing, and that's the maniacal right-wingers on Twitter who take the bait and start ranting and raving at Titania. She cuts both ways but we only see one side of it here.

Needs a tv series

A new take on the comedy-horror genre and a definative work on Poe's law without even mentioning Poe's law. Very cleverly done weaving actual social justice articles seamlessly into the thread. Very well performed. Highly recommended to anybody that hasn't spiritually embraced their liberal arts degree.

Funny and a bit scary.

I hate that Titiana is right about absolutely everything. She is 100% correct in saying we should appreciate more how He Man was using his pronouns ahead of our time.
Her wisdom is infallible.

Brilliant

I read this book because I wanted to learn about woke. However I had no idea in buying it that it was a satirical piece. It really is brilliant. Yes it makes a laughing stock out of wokeness, but it does so by caricature rather than fiction. In other words it takes true characteristics and exaggerates them to a laughable degree, but always with a hand on reality, never letting go..Tame the caricature and you have wokeness - which is not at all funny. I laughed a lot and learned a lot.

Brilliant book, an informative caricature
