Published: New Press - March 5th, 2013

Critics have produced valuable analyses of the Internet's effect on the world, oscillating between utopian bliss and dystopian hell. But according to McChesney, arguments on both sides fail to address the relationship between economic power and the digital world. In Digital Disconnect, Robert McChesney offers a groundbreaking critique of the Internet, urging us to reclaim the democratizing potential of the digital revolution while we still can.
