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
