Future Perfect. The Case for Progress in a Networked Age

Combining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the optimistic arguments of Everything Bad is Good for You, Steven Johnson´s Future Perfect makes the case that a new model of political change is on the rise, transforming everything from local governments to classrooms, from protest movements to health care. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this new political worldview -influenced by the success and interconnectedness of the Internet, but not necessarily dependent on high-tech solutions- that breaks with traditiional categories of liberal or conservative thinking.
