Summary: Fine Book on a New Topic
Review: Since writing my thesis, it is hard to fine suitiable material that examines the entire framework of how campaigning is moving into the digital areana. Wilhelm's book is a great start on this emerging field. Complete with statisitcal graphs and charts, Democracy in the Digital Age is ready to answer questions that the reader may have on ecomonic status and how that plays a role on the Internet. The book also researches different communities and how they are addressing the growing trend of democracy moving on the Internet.

Unfortunelty, Wilhelm's expansion beyond the data is sparse as he his mearly reporting the evidence out there. The reader has the luxary of great data but having to come up with a reasonable response on where this is taking humanity.

Great data and supporting evidence presented in a dry academic fashion answering no 'what if' questions would best sum up this book.
