(As if any of us had time left to read this summer,) Politico contributors Andrew Rasiej and Micah L. Sifry have a few recommendations that through geared for political junkies, may be of interest to us in terms of our students and our technology. For instance, they write,“Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube and the Future of American Politics," makes a cogent case that we are on the cusp of a “civic generation” and that this demographic and cultural tide will favor progressive Democrats who offer a new way of solving society’s problems. One of those young activists, Michael Connery, makes the same case in his compelling call to arms, “Youth to Power: How Today’s Young Voters Are Building Tomorrow’s Progressive Majority."
They also push their own book, “Rebooting America: Ideas for Redesigning American Democracy for the Internet Age,” which has political minds speculating on how our founding fathers may have used a tool like the internet. Best of all, it's available as a free download!
And for any books that aren't free, I highly suggest the search engine, campusi.com!
