Summary:
Virtual Country examines the existing nexus of technology and western democracy, pointing to a historical opportunity for We the People to evolve our democracy to include a new general public institution that allows a coherent, collective voice in the problems that affect people. The book’s centerpiece can be a proposal for a fresh online organization for citizen reengagement-the National City Square. The Square would be a clear, citizen-led, noncorporate, nongovernmental, non-partisan online place for specific advisory voting, moderated discussion, and fact-verified education on issues selected by people themselves. Virtual Country also examines the surround problems and risks connected with permitting the influence of a lot of money in politics to be extended to online democracy. A must-listen for anybody interested in both the risks and opportunities presented as of this historic instant in democracy’s progression.
