Abstract
Is digital democracy really better? Many believe that Western democracies are ill-prepared or too slow to manage the radical and destabilizing transformations that accompany the spread of technology. Voter turnout is declining. The proportion of citizens actively engaged in civic life is shrinking. A small number of tech giants reap the lion’s share of economic benefits, while the spread of artificial intelligence and the threat of automation in many professional fields are increasing the public’s distrust of democratic institutions. This book explores the contradictions arising from the integration of technology into democratic structures, procedures, and decision-making, seeking to shed light on the relationship between technological innovation and public power. Foreword by Sabino Cassese. Introduction by Andrea Cangini.
