Steven makes a wonderful, enlightening case for the reasons that the Internet is fundamentally changing the nature of human social organization, largely for the better. For the first time a lay person can gain insight into the most powerful force acting on each nod every one of us today. The core of the book is about s concept called peer progressivism, and I think that peer progressives are today's new "silent majority". If you are a CEO or running for office, this book is especially a must read for you. Steven describes how, fundamentally, people are organizing themselves into highly resilient, decentralized networks that work to advance civilization for the common good in a way that older, top down methods could never achieve.
