- Summary
- "What happens to democracy and free speech if people use the Internet to create echo chambers - to listen and speak only to the like-minded?" "In Republic.com 2.0, Sunstein rethinks the critical relationship between democracy and the Internet in a world where partisan Web logs have emerged as significant forces in politics and where cyber-jihadists have embraced the Internet to thwart democracy and spread violence." "Cass Sunstein demonstrates that the real question is how to avoid "information cocoons" and to ensure that the unrestricted choices made possible by technology do not undermine democracy. Sunstein also proposes new remedies and reforms - focusing far less on what government should do, and much more on what consumers and producers should do - to help democracy avoid the perils, and realize the promise, of the Internet."--BOOK JACKET.
