About the Contributors

The authors use their skills and analytic insights to delve systematically into the emergence of a president whom many have labeled as divisive and reckless. They tell an incisive story of a nation divided ideologically, but also oriented, in common, via technology. This apparent contradiction constitutes what the authors call a ‘narrative moment’ that provides a well-conceived and well-written account of the complex correlation between political discourse and technological access to such discourse.
