Chapter 6 of the Book is Up: The New Politics

How do you write a book chapter on social media in politics? Carefully. Chapter 6 of Content Nation was a lot of fun to write, but it took a lot of weighing of different examples from around the world to come up with stories that were both compelling and politically balanced. But somehow I think that I've managed to pull it off. I mention no one's political party directly (only one indirect reference to parties at all), I talk about terrorism without using the word "terrorism," I talk about political freedom without using the word "freedom" - it's a big world out there, and my hope is that this book can reach as many people as possible around the world and to get them thinking about the power of social media to transform their work, their lives and their future. I think that you'll enjoy my full draft of this chapter. Give it a whirl.
