A good review from the Times Higher Education Supplement by William Dutton, head of the Oxford Internet Institute, on the book Republic.com 2.0 by Cass R Sunstein. Sunstein is arguing that too much information is bad for democracy (as I did in the recent paper I published for FastCapitalism. I proposed a way of designing for ‘information abundance’ and am also presenting a paper on this subject next week in Prato Italy at the Community Informatics Research Network Conference).
