Review Quotes:
"It takes a courageous political scientist to write [this] way in our jaded yet oddly gullible age. We are cynical about the possibilities of human dialogue and solidarity. But we are boundlessly naive about the merits of 'social networking' and technology. This is a dangerous combination. McWilliams saw it coming. We read him now for his felicities and his insights, and we are grateful he came our way."--Commonweal
"Will provide others with a deeper insight into the roots and sources of our political life."--First Things
