Publisher's Summary

The Bodies of Others is about how we came to the harrowing civilizational crossroads at which we find ourselves—engaged in a war against vast impersonal forces with limitless power over our lives and which threaten the freedoms we have always taken for granted. 

In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Naomi Wolf shows how these forces—from Big Tech and Big Pharma to the CCP and our oligarchical elites—seized upon two years of COVID-19 panic in sinister new ways, to not only undermine our republic but to fundamentally reorient human relations. 

Their target is humanity itself. Their end goal is to ensure that our pre-March 2020 world is gone forever. Irretrievable. To be replaced with a world in which all human endeavor—all human joy, all human fellowship, all human advancement, all human culture, all human song, all human drama, all worship, all surprise, all flirtation, all celebration—is behind a digital paywall. A world in which we will all have to ask technology's permission to be human. 

But we, the people of the world, did not vote to abandon our old systems and destroy our old ways so absolutely they could never be recovered. And Wolf shows how, against overwhelming odds, we still might win.

An important read

It was like re living the COVID tyranny all over again and I was quite traumatised by what seemed like my life being written in this book. I encourage everyone to read this book to know the truth and to understand what happened to human kind in the last three years.

I would have preferred a female narrator as it was written by a female but the narrator did a great job.

Boring narrator ruins great book

What a shameful waste of my money. The narrator has a monotone voice, which makes listening to the book really difficult, so much so that I'm not going to continue to listen any further...I feel asleep within the first 5 minutes.

Should be required reading but that would be a mandate

Compassion and true humanity are easily subverted by the self interested and unreflective.

We can overcome if we resist!

Inspiring & Disturbing

This book is a must read for anyone who is waking up from the sheep like behaviour they experienced during the COVID pandemic. Wolf is brave, provocative & inspiring as she pushes forward against the mainstream ideology that spread throughout the world. She was challenged & ostracised at every turn, but this did not deter her from her courageous mission to educate through this important work. We need such courageous voices to enable us all to wake up. Wolf’s final words, ‘What did you do?’ make each reader reflect on their own bravery or lack there of. What did you do, and what will you do in future?
My only negative comment is I wish Wolf had narrated the book herself.

Brilliant!

The Bodies of Others is an incredible book that is meticulously researched and presented with an open heart. I was brought to tears many times.

A well documented account of current times

Thank you Naomi for telling your story.
I found this book very well written & I take my hat off to you. You have the backbone & guts to help explain to stand up against the tyranny & unjust action of the modern day Nazi.
I can honestly relate to what you have been through from the other side of the globe.

What it means to have a backbone.

Everyone should use critical thinking. I does not take that much to not comply with any unlawful order. The real law is that any restriction of your breathing is suffocation in any way is criminal. So it can't be law. #SOMOTCOMPLY

Disappointing narrator for this clever book

I’m half way through chapter 4 and I can’t listen to any more the narrator has a poorly fitting denture that is affecting his speech ….as a retired Dentist it’s just awful to listen to … he needs to go back to dentist to get it secured properly at the back and should not be narrating until it’s fixed
Totally wrecked what so far is a great book

if you had been paying attention...

this will be better to read in 10 years as a child who grew up during the start of the decline of civilization. if you were paying attention to the tyranny at hand it doesn't hit as hard as you'd like it too.
