The Design of Digital Democracy

More about the book

The book explores the impact of technology, entertainment, and design on democratic decision-making, highlighting how digital interactions prioritize speed and user-friendliness over deeper costs. This shift has created a disconnect between citizens' expectations of digital services and the realities of democratic governance. As regulators struggle to meet these demands, they face unprecedented challenges in engaging the public, despite leveraging advanced technologies. The work delves into the implications of this gap for democracy and civic participation.
