Internet and Democracy in the Network Society
«
'Two leading thinkers who produced seminal texts on digital democracy and the network society when these were nebulous possibilities for most of us have teamed up. The result is a prescient and engaging book that invites all to rethink the future of networked media and democracy.' - Zizi Papacharissi, Professor and Head of Communication, Professor of Political Science, University of Illinois
'This book is a timely, thoughtful and thought-provoking volume on the state of politics and democracy in an increasingly networked society, dealing with a plethora of hot-button issues such as filter bubbles and fake news. The fact that this book bears almost no resemblance to Digital Democracy (2000) makes one realize the seismic shift in internet-based politics just in the last 18 years, and how profoundly it has affected democracies as well as autocracies.' - S. Shyam Sundar, Distinguished Professor, The Pennsylvania State University
