Synopsis:

The popularization of low cost communication and collaboration technologies has given us an unusual opportunity to address the fundamental problems that reduce the effectiveness of our democracy. This book examines the potential of pop technology to transform politics, and to allow a new level of citizen participation in democracy, one that goes far beyond simply voting and reacting to broadcasted viewpoints. Tracing its probable evolution into the future, one could conservatively predict that pop technology will make feasible, for the first time in history, the effective mass participation of citizens in collaborative national planning. This book explains why we are at a unique point in our history and how we could plan a new course for American democracy.
