My new book, Digital Revolutions: Activism in the internet age, has now been published by New Internationalist.
The book looks at recent global movements – including Occupy, the Slutwalks, the Arab Spring, Uncut and the Indignados – along with other cases of recent activism such as the Spartacus Report, Pussy Riot and Boycott Workfare. As well as exploring these movements more generally, my book asks particular questions about the role of the internet. The focus is on interviews with activists and stories of campaigns more than on outside analyses.
The book is £9.99 and is stocked by a number of bookshops; it’s in several branches of Waterstone’s. You can buy it online from the publisher – £9.99 for the paperback and only £3.99 for the e-book (see http://shop.newint.org/uk/ebook-digital-revolutions-activism-in-the-internet-age.html).
If you’re looking for a discount on the paperback – you can get one without supporting the tax-dodgers at Amazon! You can buy it for £7.49 from Word Power Books, an independent online bookseller (see http://www.word-power.co.uk/books/digital-revolutions-I9781780260761), or £7.99 from the Guardian bookshop (http://www.word-power.co.uk/books/digital-revolutions-I9781780260761).
