Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) upcoming book title tickled critics on Twitter.
On Thursday, the Donald Trump-loving senator announced that “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America” will be released by Regnery Publishing in November.
Per the promotional blurb, the 256-page book will provide “a long overdue argument against the woke takeover of education, big business, the media, and Hollywood.”

But many people were puzzled by the use of the word “Unwoke,” with some asking if it didn’t just mean being asleep.
Will this be found in the fiction, or satire section?

Not only am I excited, but am thrilled the cover is inspired by my expression when I notice there’s one more flight of stairs I still have to walk up!

Wouldn’t “asleep” be a better title than “unwoke”?
Not only is it an actual word, it succinctly lets the reader know what effect the book is likely to have on them— David Radcliff (@DavidRadcliff) March 10, 2023
Instead of writing books and lining your pockets you should do your job!

Isn’t unwoke basically asleep?

Unwoke? Isn’t that asleep?

Is there a chapter on Cancun?

“Unwoke” — as in unconscious…?
Is that really what you want to convey as the opposite of political correctness?
