The revolution will be Twittered! Yet for all the talk about the democratizing power of the Internet, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran in June 2009.
Could the recent Western obsession with promoting democracy by digital means backfire? In fact, authoritarian governments are effectively using the Internet to suppress free speech, hone their surveillance techniques, disseminate cutting-edge propaganda, and pacify their populations with digital entertainment. In this spirited book, journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov shows that by falling for the supposedly democratizing nature of the Internet, Western do-gooders may have missed how it also entrenches dictators, threatens dissidents, and makes it harder -- not easier -- to promote democracy.
