Description
Digital Technology and Democratic Theory by Lucy Bernholz, Hélène Landemore, and Rob Reich explores how digital technologies are transforming our lives as citizens and participants in democratic governments. This book brings together contributions from scholars across multiple disciplines to examine the impact of digital technologies on fundamental questions about democracy and democratic theory. The authors assess the promise and peril of these changes for reshaping democratic societies and institutions. By broaching the most pressing technological issues facing democracy, this volume offers a sober and long-term assessment of how we should take stock of digital technologies and their potential effects on our democracies.
