The New Puritans by Andrew Doyle examines modern social justice movements and online cancellation culture by drawing historical parallels to the Salem witch trials. Konstantin Kisin shouted out the book on The Joe Rogan Experience while discussing data tracking in new media, while Andrew Gold brought up the text on Timcast IRL to highlight the striking similarities between historical witch hunts and contemporary woke ideology. Chris Williamson discussed the book on Modern Wisdom alongside guest Rob Kurzban, utilizing Doyle's historical comparisons to analyze the mechanics of modern social justice and public cancellation. Rob Kurzban referenced the author's arguments on the same episode while reflecting on moral accusations and societal gains. Jordan Peterson interviewed Andrew Doyle on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, bringing up the specific subtitle to transition into an analytical conversation regarding the quasi-religious nature of modern ideological movements. Peter Boghossian also referenced the book on The Rubin Report to frame a new political axis contrasting authoritarianism with liberalism. The frequent mentions on influential interview podcasts underscore the book's prominent role in contemporary debates surrounding free speech, cultural orthodoxies, and sociopolitical polarization in the Western world.
