Timely and gripping Investigation of how the internet is transforming politics by award-winning journalist Heather Brooke.

There is more information in the world than ever before - but who's in control?

At the centre sits the Establishment- governments, corporations and powerful individuals who have more knowledge about us, and more power, than ever before. Circling them is a new generation of hackers, pro-democracy campaigners and internet activists who no longer accept that the Establishment should run the show.

Award-winning journalist and campaigner Heather Brooke takes us inside the Information War and explores the most urgent questions of the digital age- where is the balance between freedom and security? In an online world, does privacy still exist? And will the internet empower individuals, or usher in a new age of censorship, surveillance and oppression?

Reviews for The Revolution will be Digitised: Dispatches from the Information War

Brooke hasn't set out to write just another inside account of the Wikileaks saga: this is a melange of anecdote, imagination and experience designed to open our eyes to the possibility of digital change ... feisty and vivid and honest. Guardian Brooke has a serious agenda and she poses serious questions ... We have been warned. Financial Times A demanding, illuminating read. Independent on Sunday A robust examination of the race for control of information in our digital age. Sunday Times Culture She's a total ninja. -- Ben Goldacre
