Editorial Reviews

Review
Both utopian and dystopian interpretations have been made of the Internet's influence on many spheres of life--and democracy is no exception. . . . Absent from much of this debate is evidence-based analysis of the effects of the Internet on the business of politics. Many theories have been built on nothing more than anecdote, inference and assertion. In The Myth of Digital Democracy, political scientist Matthew Hindman fills important gaps in the evidence base, and does so accessibly.
(Richard Allan Nature )

[T]here is much in Hindman's book that is persuasive, counterintuitive, and important to understanding the moment.
(Matt Bai Democracy: A Journal )

Review
An outstanding combination of theoretical and empirical work. Hindman has produced one of the very few best books, ever, on the relationship between the Internet and democracy. Indispensable reading.
(Cass R. Sunstein, author of "Republic.com 2.0" )
