Antony Loewenstein's travels take him to private parties in Iran
and Egypt, internet cafes in Saudi Arabia and Damascus, to the
homes of Cuban dissidents and into newspaper offices in Beijing,
where he discovers the ways in which the internet is threatening
the rule of governments. Through first-hand investigations, he
reveals the complicity of Western multinationals in the restriction
of information in these countries and how bloggers are leading the
charge for change. The book also reveals some of the key players of
the Arab Spring and how years of organising, web dissent and
bravery led to momentous changes in US-backed dictatorships across
the Middle East in 2010 and 2011. The Blogging Revolution is a
superb examination of the nature of repression in the twenty-first
century and the power of brave individuals to overcome it.
