Publisher's Summary:
A rousing call to action for those who would be citizens of the world - online and off.
We live in an age of connection, one that is accelerated by the Internet. This increasingly ubiquitous, immensely powerful technology often leads us to assume that as the number of people online grows, it inevitably leads to a smaller, more cosmopolitan world. Well understand more, we think. Well know more. Well engage more and share more with people from other cultures. In reality, it is easier to ship bottles of water from Fiji to Atlanta than it is to get news from Tokyo to New York.
In Rewire, media scholar and activist Ethan Zuckerman explains why the technological ability to communicate with someone does not inevitably lead to increased human connection. At the most basic level, our human tendency to flock together means that most of our interactions, online or off, are with a small set of people with whom we have much in common. In examining this fundamental tendency, Zuckerman draws on his own work as well as the latest research in psychology and sociology to consider technologys role in disconnecting ourselves from the rest of the world.
For those who seek a wider picture - a picture now critical for survival in an age of global economic crises and pandemics - Zuckerman highlights the challenges, and the headway already made, in truly connecting people across cultures.

1st book!?
Nice job on your first book. thanks for the reminder that global connection is not going to occur naturally or without effort. Loved the stories that illustrate and for putting so eloquently into words the thoughts we suspect but remain intangible without teasing them out further as you have done for us.
