Unhyped and therefore unnoticed, technology is altering the
behavior and mission of city halls, statehouses, schools, and
federal agencies across America. From transportation to education
to elections to law enforcement (or, as we're now referring to it,
'homeland security'), the digital revolution is transforming
government and politics, slashing bureaucracies; improving
services; producing innovative solutions to some of our nation's
thorniest problems; changing the terms of the Left/Right political
debate; and offering ordinary people access to a degree of
information and individual influence until recently accessible only
to the most powerful citizens, finally redeeming the Founding
Fathers' original vision for our democracy, and enriching American
life and society in the process. Based on interviews with over 500
leading politicians, researchers, technology industry CEOs and
leaders, futurists and front-line public employees, Government 2.0
journeys across America and overseas to demonstrate the promise and
perils of this emerging world and offer a likely road map to its
implementation. You'll hear from technology executives preparing
for an onrushing future when, for many citizens, most government
interactions could take place on private-sector websites; from
bureaucrats like OSHA's Ed Stern fighting to get their agencies to
adopt expert systems technology; from William Bennett, whose
virtual education company offers a glimpse into one possible future
of American education; and from Governor Jeb Bush and former Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani as they endeavor to overcome bureaucratic inertia
to provide more open, efficient, and effective governments. Rich
with anecdotes and case studies, Government 2.0 is a must read for
every entrepreneur frustrated by paperwork, every parent who's sick
of being surprised by bad report cards, every commuter stuck in
traffic, every activist trying to fight City Hall, and every
taxpayer who cares about the future of government.
