The three books I considered using for my project were Digital Disconnect, Networks of Outrage and Hope: Social Movements in the Internet Age, and
Real-Time Diplomacy: Politics
and Power in the Social Media Era.
After reviewing the books on several sources, I decided to choose Real-Time Diplomacy: Politics and Power in the Social Media Era. All three of the books seemed interesting, but I was unable to find any quality reviews for Digital Disconnect. After narrowing the search to two books, it seemed to me that the one I chose received better reviews and seemed to do more actual analysis into issues than the other book.
I was able to find critiques of my book on Project Muse and then found another review through a basic Google search that lead me to another academic journal. I look forward to reading the book and its discussion of events that happened only a couple years ago and how technology is shaping the political and social world today.
International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), Book Review 871-873
The Middle East Journal, Volume 67, Number 2, Spring 2013, 324-325
My book is also on the power of social media so I also think yours will be interesting to me as well. I did not come across this book when I was searching for mine, though this seems like a good read that I would have chosen as well!
