Updated with a new Afterword "The revolution will be Twittered!"
declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran.
But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in
The Net Delusion , the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries
and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the
West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies,
regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever.
Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and
threaten dissidents, making it harder- not easier- to promote
democracy. Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net
Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is
inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly
noble initiatives like the promotion of"Internet freedom" are
misguided and, on occasion, harmful.
