520    A timely manifesto on freedom from Hong Kong’s leading pro
       -democracy activist Nathan Law, a Nobel Prize nominee. In 
       this dispatch from exile, Hong Kong political activist 
       Nathan Law explores the meaning of freedom—and shows how 
       easily freedoms can be eroded or dismantled. Freedom is 
       fragile—it is not a given, and each generation must fight 
       to protect it, whether in emerging democracies or in the 
       Western world, where freedom is too often taken for 
       granted. Law sets out to prove the value of what we take 
       to be inherently bestowed upon us as human beings, and to 
       expose the Chinese government as it barricades its 
       citizens from enjoying freedom. He lays out how the 
       government controls what people know and are allowed to 
       think, suppresses the truth, and undermines democratic 
       processes by censoring its own members. If freedom is a 
       basic human right, then why were lawyers, journalists, and
       activists being jailed, and why has Nathan Law been 
       labeled a wanted fugitive? Rooted in his own experience as
       a former elected official and student leader of the 
       Umbrella Movement, Law explores not just how important 
       freedom is in principle for human beings to thrive, but 
       how it is put into practice. What does it mean to be able 
       to speak freely, and what happens when the concept 
       collapses? How can the law both protect and abolish our 
       freedoms? And why should we place such importance on free 
       and fair elections? What does it mean to be truly free? 
       Nathan Law has worked tirelessly to apply pressure in 
       order to reshape freedom in Hong Kong, because it is with 
       freedom that we’ll live as we’re meant to be.
