The Revolt of The Public: and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millenium by Ma

Description: The Revolt of The Public by Martin Gurri How insurgencies - enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere - have mobilised millions of ordinary people around the world.In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilised millions of ordinary people around the world.Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trumps improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organising principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Martin Gurri is a geopolitical analyst and student of new media and information effects. He spent many years working in the corner of the CIA dedicated to the analysis of open media. From that privileged perch, he watched the global information landscape undergo a transformation so radical as to seem unprecedented in the history of our species. After leaving government, Gurri focused his research on the motive forces powering this transformation. The result of this labor is The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, first published in digital form in 2014 and republished in 2018. He lives in Virginia.

Since then, it has been the book that I recommend whenever I am in a conversation that turns to the Trump phenomenon or the disturbing state of politics in general. Because Martin Gurri saw it coming. When, without fanfare, he self-published the first edition as an e-book in June of 2014, he did not specifically name Donald Trump, or Brexit, or the oddball political figures and new fringe parties that have surged all over Europe. But he saw how the internet in general and social media in particular were transforming the political landscape. Description for Sales People AHEAD OF ITS TIME: Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is credited with predicting the rise of Donald Trump, the Brexit referendum, and protest movements like the Yellow Vests in France. PUBLIC DISCOURSE: Martin Gurris framing of "the revolt of the public" has become a mainstream concept discussed in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Vox, Politico, the Intercept, and others. ESSENTIAL READING: Social media and the internet have transformed daily life. Gurris analysis of how technology has upturned the balance of power between the public and the elites is critical to understanding todays social and political landscape.
