Robin Jones positively reviewed the book for The Paris Review, as did Sonja van der Westhuizen in a review for the South African Sunday Times. It was first released in paperback on 20 August 2020 and a new edition was released in 2021. It discusses "toxic myths" on matters such as freedom of speech, political correctness, racial and identity politics, and national myths (particularly in relation to the United Kingdom and the United States, and how these impact decision-making), discussing and how these concepts have been misrepresented – often to oppose progressive causes – and encouraging readers to question accepted norms.

We Need New Stories is a non-fiction book written by journalist and author Nesrine Malik in 2019.
