Democracy in the digital age: challenges to political life in cyberspace

Abstract

From the Publisher: Is the Internet an antidote to America's political afflictions? Much of the writings on the prospects of a digital democracy are only impassioned predictions from Internet doomsayers or Silicon Valley faithfuls, sorely lacking a critical eye and sound research. Anthony G. Wilhelm counters claims on both sides with a well-reasoned factual argument: political conversations occurring online are neither thoughtful nor inclusive, suggesting that current new technologies are as much threats to progress as they are vehicles of progress.
