The authors of Rebooting American Politics are not constrained by the tired heuristics, often first constructed in the 1990s, used by most scholars to comprehend the role of information technology in American politics. Instead, in each chapter they bring fresh perspective, theory, and underutilized empirical data to answer a number of the most timely and important questions on this topic. This captivating book is vital reading for those with an interest in understanding many of the key transformations of contemporary American politics.
