A Blogger's Manifesto

部落客宣言

Blogger's Manifesto is a book about the limits of freedom of speech in the age of the internet. It's a book about censorship and arbitrary harassment against people who exercise their civil rights. Yeah, that's right, it's happening not China or Iran, but in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and other Western democracies.

"Anyone eager to understand how cyberspace has changed our possibilities and how it often remains trapped in grim social contexts would do well to read Erik Ringmar's 'A Bloggers Manifesto.'" Norman Solomon, Author of 'War Made Easy'

"Fun to read. It makes a strong case for the democratic power of blogging and the Internet. A form of empowerment for the voiceless.'" Ronald Eyerman, Professor of Sociology, Yale University

"Erik has an engaging style of writing and I thoroughly recommend that anyone interested in anything more than the superficies of blogging read this book." The Blog of Dave Cole.
