'Coleman and Freelon have deftly edited a series of essays that help us transition to the next big thing in political communication - an internet connecting many people over many kinds of devices making large volumes of data. Digital politics is no longer so much about what happens in your browser, but about what happens when your devices talk to each other on their own. This collection helps us get ready to understand the new infrastructure of political life.'
