Afterword
“The revolution will be Twittered!” declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues inThe Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy.
Marshalling a compelling set of case studies,The Net Delusionshows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of “Internet freedom” are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.

Recenzii
“Evgeny
Morozov
has
produced
a
rich
survey
of
recent
history
that
reminds
us
that
everybody
wants
connectivity
but
also
varying
degrees
of
control
over
content,
and
that
connectivity
on
its
own
is
a
very
poor
predictor
of
political
pluralism….
By
doing
so,
he's
gored
any
number
of
sacred
cows,
but
he's
likewise
given
us
a
far
more
realistic
sense
of
what's
possible
in
cyberspace—both
good
and
bad—in
the
years
ahead.
Morozov
excels
at
this
sort
of
counter-intuitive
analysis,
and
he
instantly
recasts
a
number
of
foreign
policy
debates
with
this
timely
book.” Stephen

“Net Delusionis a brilliant book and a great read. Politicians and pundits have hailed the Internet as a revolutionary force that will empower the masses and consign authoritarian governments to the ash-heap of history, but Morozov explains why such naïve hopes are sadly misplaced. With a keen eye for detail and a probing, skeptical intelligence, he shows that the Web is as likely to distract as to empower, and that both dictators and dissidents can exploit its novel features. If you thought that Facebook, Twitter, and the World Wide Web would trigger a new wave of democratic transformations, read this book and think again.”
Malcolm Gladwell

“Evgeny Morozov is wonderfully knowledgeable about the Internet—he seems to have studied every use of it, or every political use, in every country in the world (and to have read all the posts). And he is wonderfully sophisticated and tough-minded about politics. This is a rare combination, and it makes for a powerful argument against the latest versions of technological romanticism. His book should be required reading for every political activist who hopes to change the world on the Internet.” Thomas P.M. Barnett, author, The Pentagon's New Map, and senior managing director, Enterra Solutions LLC
