Summary of Martin Gurri's The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I believe that there is a connection between online universities and the serial insurgencies that have rocked the Arab Middle East. The old, entrenched social order is passing away even as I write these words, and no substitute has appeared on the horizon.

#2 Information has effects, and the first significant effect I noticed was that the sources of information became less authoritative as the amount of information available to the public increased.

#3 Information began exploding in the 1990s, and it became clear that we had entered an informational order unprecedented in the experience of the human race.

#4 The arrival of Google and algorithms changed the media landscape dramatically. While it was difficult to explore new sources, it was impossible to do so without uncertainty, which is an acid that corrodes authority.
