Description
Axel Bruns examines the concept of filter bubbles and echo chambers in online public debate. He argues that their influence has been overstated, diverting attention away from more pressing issues such as the rise of populism and hyperpolarisation in democracies. Bruns evaluates the evidence for and against these concepts, making a case for shifting focus to more significant problems. This timely book is relevant for anyone concerned about challenges to public debate and the democratic process. A thought-provoking analysis of the impact of online platforms on society, this book offers a persuasive argument for re-evaluating our priorities in the digital age.
