Reviews

The authors use their skills and analytic insights to delve, systematically, into the emergence of a president who many have labeled as divisive and reckless. They tell an incisive story of a nation divided ideologically, but also oriented, in common, via technology. This apparent contradiction constitutes what the authors call a narrative moment that provides a well-conceived and well written account of the complex correlation between political discourse and technological access to such discourse. -- Michael A. Katovich, Texas Christian University
