Politics as Usual
The Cyberspace `Revolution'



March 2000 | 256 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Examining the effects of the Internet on American politics, this book reveals its potential as a tool for empowering people to challenge existing power structures. However, the authors show how the American political system tends to normalize political activity, and thus the internet's vast subversive potential could be lost, rendering it just another purveyor of ignored information.
