James Bond books rewritten to accommodate sensitivities

James Bond has been censored, not just stirred

A new report claims that Ian Fleming’s famous James Bond books have been rewritten to accommodate 21st century sensitivities.

The publisher has removed a number of racial references ahead of the 70th anniversary this year.

The books are expected to be republished in April.

Fleming’s books — from Casino Royale to Octopussy — will be rereleased again after Ian Fleming Publications commissioned a review by “sensitivity readers.”

The Fleming Bond series is just the latest in an increasingly censorial publishing industry.
