“Part of what makes self-censorship so troubling is the impossibility of knowing precisely what is lost to society because of it,” the authors lament. “We will never know what books or articles may have been written that would have shaped the world’s thinking on a particular topic if they are not written because potential authors are afraid that their work would invite retribution.”
