Revolt Of The Public: Author, Martin Gurri, Says That The Digital Age is Sounding The Death Knell For Elite Institutions
Author and former CIA analyst, Martin Gurri, shares his insights into our global state of unrest. Gurri explains that modern institutions, ranging from government and media to academia, are being undermined by digitally networked individuals surfing the Fifth Wave information tsunami of the digital age.
Effervescent sectarian groups that he refers to as “the public” tirelessly chip away at the authority of elite gatekeepers of global institutions. The result, Gurri argues, is a stalemate between elite leaders of decaying institutions, who lack the courage and vision to carry “the people” into the future and nihilistic, borderless, sectarian groups that negate authority yet lack cogent alternatives to the status quo.
