#Republic

Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media

Cass R. Sunstein

In #Republic, Cass Sunstein examines how the internet is creating new threats to democracy by fragmenting and polarizing political discussion. He explains how social media companies, cybercascades, and confirmation bias can all contribute to this problem. Sunstein proposes practical changes to make the internet friendlier to democratic discussion and promote exposure to diverse ideas. This eye-opening book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand modern democracy in the age of the internet.

I think about this book all the time. Amazed that it seems so forgotten. The definition of "ahead of its time."      source
