ADDITIONAL REVIEWS: "[Sunstein] argues persuasively that the fragmented market for communications, which may cater to the desires of consumers, is harmful to the development of informed and moderate citizens because it limits or even makes impossible exposure to unsolicited, diverse, and occasionally unwelcome views, all of which are necessary in democracies....This book is a splendid antidote to the views of the utopian populists who equate democracy with information choice provided over the internet."--B. Cooper, Choice Praise for Republic.com: "Cass Sunstein sounds a timely warning in this concise, sophisticated account of the rise of the internet culture. He argues that it is our very ability to wrap ourselves in our own tastes, views, and prejudices with the aid of technology that constitutes a real threat to the traditional democratic values."--Peter Aspden, Financial Times Praise for Republic.com: "Complex and thoughtful . . . a slim, sleek volume perfectly designed to appeal to Internet-era attention spans . . ."--Publishers Weekly Praise for Republic.com: "Republic.com raises important and troubling questions about the effects of the Internet on a democratic society."--Stephen Labaton, New York Times Book Review ENDORSEMENT: "Republic.com enraged many because it asked a set of uncomfortable questions that few had a way of answering. In this beautifully revised edition, Sunstein continues to press these difficult questions, not as an attack on new technologies but as a challenge to make them make democracy work. This is a compelling if sober set of questions from America's foremost legal scholar."--Lawrence Lessig, Stanford University File created: 8/21/2008 | |
