Hailed as "important" ("Truthdig") and praised for its "excellent insight" (Patricia J. Williams, "The Nation"), "Digital Disconnect," by activist and "exemplary public intellectual" ("Choice") Robert W. McChesney, skewers the assumption that a society drenched in information in a digital age is inherently a democratic one. A prescient examination of the relationship between the Internet and the economy--one that has become even more relevant since its publication in hardcover--the book argues that capitalism's colonization of the Internet has spurred the collapse of credible journalism and made the Internet an unparalleled apparatus for government and corporate surveillance.
