The book delves into the rhetoric surrounding digital media as a transformative force in politics and democracy, examining historical and intellectual contexts. It highlights the populist rhetoric of figures like Barack Obama and Julian Assange, situating their discourse within the ongoing tensions between political insiders and the populace. Through a comparative and theoretical approach, it analyzes the 2016 presidential election candidates and critiques the notion of digital democracy, linking modern rhetoric to historical anti-political sentiments and American populism's global influence.
