Description
"[The author argues that] the information age has helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues . . . [Moreover, he asserts that] all voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism . . . [This book] is not only an exploration of [what the author argues is] a dangerous phenomenon but also a warning about the stability and survival of modern democracy in the information age"--Provided by publisher.
