About this listen
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world
They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense.
For a decade, “woke” infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot.
But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up.
In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade.
But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society.
Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential listen for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.

This book was bloody brilliant Pierce. Like coming out of a coma. Glad your alive. The world needs more men like yourself. Used to think you were a massive bellend but I'm quite fond of you now.

His central claim — that woke is dead — unfolds through a series of triumphant examples: companies rolling back diversity initiatives, controversial celebrities being unbanned on social media, and politicians reasserting fixed definitions of “woman,” all set against the backdrop of Trump’s second term.
For many, this might feel like a long-awaited moment of relief — a cultural coming-up-for-air. But I’d caution against early celebrations. Woke isn’t dead; it’s merely shifted to the right. Its hallmarks remain unmistakable: speech is still curtailed, authoritarianism persists, division deepens, and identity politics continues to dominate.
From the outside looking in, the U.S. seems to be teetering on chaos, and a backlash feels inevitable. When the pendulum swings again — as it always does — what will be left standing?
Morgan’s book isn’t serious political analysis. It doesn’t interrogate, persuade, or enlighten. Instead, it’s a piece of entertainment — brisk, provocative, and occasionally funny. In that respect, it succeeds.
If, after listening this, you desire a sort of sorbet for the brain, I’d suggest George Monbiot’s Invisible Doctrine or Yanis Varoufakis’s Technofeudalism. Both offer the kind of intellectual engagement and moral depth that Morgan’s book deliberately sidesteps.
