The Net Delusion

In this book, journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov aims to show that by falling for the supposedly democratizing nature of the Internet, Western do-gooders can have missed how it also entrenches dictators, threatens dissidents, and makes it harder - not easier - to promote democracy. Morozov tries to show why people must stop thinking of the Internet and social media as inherently liberating and why initiatives like the promotion of 'Internet freedom' could have bad implications for the future of democracy.
