“In Defence of Democracy offers us a preview of what democracy is about to become: much more representative, more direct, more digital, more local and transnational. A winning concept described by this winning writer. Get it! Read it!”

--- Bruno Kaufmann, Democracy International

“You can read Principles of Digital Democracy both as a contemporary history of democracy or as a flight manual. Regardless, I think Fuller’s book will become a modern classic in democracy theory”

— Peer Norbäck, Founder of Demoex (2000)

Roslyn Fuller examines the contemporary problem of narcissism, and why an individualistic outlook on life is a barrier to progress.
