Review
"An absorbing, comprehensive examination of one of the most vital issues of our time." --"Publishers Weekly"
"It's not a dig-up-the-dirt-on-Julian-Assange volume . . . In this work, Sifry examines other fronts in the battle for openness." --"Mother Jones"
"The effects of the ongoing WikiLeaks are cumulative--sort of like mercury poisoning--and reveal much about how dreadful many of our policies, especially regarding the war in Afghanistan, have been. With insight and clarity, Micah Sifry explores the red-hot spot where politics and the Internet intersect. An indispensable resource for the future fight over secrecy and openness." --Arianna Huffington
"No one better grasps the interplay between innovative media technology and politics than Micah Sifry." --Kevin Phillips, author, "Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism"
"A leading participant in and observer of how the Internet is changing politics and society, Micah Sifry has given us a riveting, from-the-trenches report on how the clash between power, truth, access, transparency and small-d democracy is unfolding in our newly hyper-networked world. Inspired by WikiLeaks and the urgent debates that have been ignited by that phenomenon and its founder, Sifry explores the rise of the transparency movement in the US and around the world. This is a fascinating, trenchant and personal guide for smart, engaged people who seek to understand the new realities of this age of transparency." --Katrina vanden Heuvel
"Micah Sifry doesn't just know WikiLeaks. He sees how it relates to everything from the Obama's victory to the Tea Party's appearance to electoral politics in Croatia, and he uses his incredible breadth of experience to show us how WikiLeaks is part of a large, long-term trend in favor of the spread and visibility of information about our world, including information people o

By studying so carefully how technology is changing politics, he's been preparing for years to write this book. We should be grateful that he actually did." --Jay Rosen, Professor of journalism, New York University; author of PressThink.org
