About the Book

Do new "smart" technologies such as AI, robotics, social media, and automation threaten to disrupt our society? Or does technological innovation hold the potential to transform our democracies and civic societies, creating ones that are more egalitarian and accountable? Disruptive Democracy explores these questions and examines how technology has the power to reshape our civic participation, our economic and political governance, and our entire existence. In this innovative study, the authors use international examples such as Trump’s America, and Bolsonaro’s recent election as President of Brazil, to lead the discussion on perhaps the most profound political struggle of the 21st century, the coming clash between a progressive "Techno-democracy" and a regressive "Techno-populism".

Table of Contents:
Preface: Democracy Disrupted Chapter 1:The Clash of Techno-Politics Chapter 2: Outdated Democracy - The Fall of Capitalist Technopoly Chapter 3: The Rise of Techno-Populism Chapter 4: The Growth of Techno-Democracy Chapter 5: The Real Possibilities of Disruptive Democracy References

Review :
At a time when technology is charged with undermining democracy and subverting electoral process, Bloom and Sancino offer a timely reminder in this exciting book that technologies are produced by humans. This leads them to explore who controls technology and to what ends, and to raise important questions concerning how we might establish democratic control over the production of technology to potentially create a better world.  This incredibly timely and provocative book is a must read for all who are concerned about the profound impacts of 21st century technology on politics and society.
