Twitter and Teargas: the Power and Fragility of Networked Protest by Zeynep Tufekci

Twitter and Teargas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest

4/5. What it sounds like. I’m doing this book a terrible disservice, but there has been six weeks and a lot a lot a lot of life between reading it and now, and now I’m trying to wrap up the year’s reading before dashing out to a party, so. It’s really great! Jargony, but great. Full of personal anecdotes and sharp insights into how protests movements work (and, just as often, how they don’t). And it deserves another 500 words from me, but I don’t have them.
