The liberal media machine did everything they could to keep this book out of your hands. Now, finally, DANGEROUS, the most controversial book of the decade, is tearing down safe spaces everywhere. Breitbart editor and controversial alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos has signed a book deal with a Simon & Schuster imprint.

The book, titled “Dangerous,” will be published on March 14, 2017. According to The Hollywood Reporter, which first broke the news, Yiannopoulos is getting an advance of $250,000 for his book.

“Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, will publish Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos on March 14, 2017," the publisher said in a statement. “Dangerous will be a book on free speech by the outspoken and controversial gay British writer and editor at Breitbart News who describes himself as ‘the most fabulous supervillain on the internet’.”

Yiannopoulos, already an infamous provocateur whose “Dangerous Faggot” tour has riled up college campuses around the country, was permanently banned from Twitter over the summer after targeting “Saturday Night Live” actor Leslie Jones, who then endured a wave of racist abuse online.

“They said banning me from Twitter would finish me off. Just as I predicted, the opposite has happened,” Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter.

“I met with top execs at Simon & Schuster earlier in the year and spent half an hour trying to shock them with lewd jokes and outrageous opinions. I thought they were going to have me escorted from the building — but instead they offered me a wheelbarrow full of money,” he added.

Simon & Schuster is a subsidiary of CBS Corp., leading some to speculate that Yiannopoulos may end up promoting his book on CBS shows like “CBS This Morning” or “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

“We're planning all that for January at the moment — we’ll be doing a lot of live appearances, a lot of TV, and of course I have a month of my college tour still to go ... can't say about any specific shows at this stage," Yiannopoulos told POLITICO in an email.

A spokesperson for Threshold did not immediately respond to a follow-up question about promoting the book on CBS.

Autêntico…

Publicado no ano de 2021 pela Faro Editorial, Dangerous, que possui cerca de 300 páginas, abordará diversos temas polêmicos, mas de forma tão histórica, como alguns poderia pensar, e, sim, de um jeito bem político, combativo.

Como o próprio autor se descreve durante a leitura, ele realmente é uma personalidade polêmica, pois pelo que compreendi, as pessoas, seja em redes sociais ou pessoalmente, podem falar o que bem entender dele, mas Milo jamais de curvará, visto que ao mesmo tempo que defende a liberdade de expressão de seus inimigos para lhe ofender, o autor também apoia seu direito de ser o que bem entender.

Não adentrarei no mérito das questões políticas que são tratadas na obra, pois isso é uma resenha, porém afirmo: concordando ou não, ler um livro como esse é muito bom, dado que deixará o leitor mais crítico, fazendo-o pensar a respeito.

Para finalizar, deixar-vos-eis cientes, igualmente, de que o escritor fez esse livro muito mais para se defender e atacar seus opositores, então saibam poderão se assustar com algumas falas e pensamentos.
