Political violence rips apart several towns in southwest Texas. A far-right militia plots to kidnap the governor of Michigan and try her for treason. An armed mob of Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists storms the U.S. Capitol. Are these isolated incidents? Or is this the start of something bigger? Barbara F. Walter has spent her career studying civil conflict in places like Iraq, Ukraine, and Sri Lanka, but now she has become increasingly worried about her own country.

Essential Reading for all good citizens
Revisado: 08-21-22
This should be an essential read/listen for all fair-minded citizens of democracies world wide. It analyses with clarity and precision how populations become partitioned by bad faith actors willing to use propaganda and violence. All democracies are vulnerable.

We are in the throes of a revolution, yet most of us are so disorientated by the rapid pace of technological and cultural change that we find it difficult to understand what’s going on. 50 Digital Ideas You Really Need to Know provides a clear path through the confusion and misinformation surrounding those technologies that, for better or for worse, are transforming the world we live in and even the sort of people we are.

Too Superficial
Revisado: 03-12-12
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The best use for this book, and in fact for the others in this series.... I've read two others... is for someone who wants a quick primer on basic terminology with a little background because there's no depth here, nor is there continuity between individual sections.
Has 50 Digital Ideas You Really Need to Know turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes, as I say, the series suffers from this superficiality.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, this aspect is appropriate.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 50 Digital Ideas You Really Need to Know?
This question doesn't really apply to this type of book. All 50 of the
Any additional comments?
I was hoping for an insightful review of digital history working from the fundamentals of binary mathematics through the development of miniature materials - chips etc. explained with insight and imagination. This book doesn't do it.
