Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: Raises important and troubling questions about the effects of the Internet on a democratic society. --Stephen Labaton, New York Times Book Review Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: Cass Sunstein sounds a timely warning in this concise, sophisticated account of the rise of the internet culture. --Peter Aspden, Financial Times Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: Lucid and valuable. --Jerome Weeks, San Francisco Chronicle Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: This perceptive volume effectively illuminates the contradictory impulses at the heart of the citizen-consumer. --Publishers Weekly Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: A refreshing counter to overly optimistic perspectives on the internet and democracy. --William Dutton, Times Higher Education Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: A splendid antidote to the views of the utopian populists who equate democracy with information choice provided over the internet. --B. Cooper, Choice Praise for Republic.com and Republic.com 2.0: Republic.com enraged many because it asked a set of uncomfortable questions that few had a way of answering... Sunstein continues to press these difficult questions, not as an attack on new technologies but as a challenge to make them make democracy work. This is a compelling if sober set of questions from America's foremost legal scholar. --Lawrence Lessig, Stanford University
