- This monograph summarises and scrutinises claims about the democratic potential of digital communication technologies that have been made over the past quarter of a century. It draws upon the author’s extensive engagement in this debate since its outset. The book synthesises a broad research literature and sets out a case for comparing political and cultural arguments about the Internet with earlier arguments about television.
