THE NET DELUSION: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom. By Evgeny Morozov. (PublicAffairs)


“ - The revolution will be Twittered! - declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran.

Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy.
