Are Filter Bubbles Real?

'Flaws in popular conceptions of echo chambers and filter bubbles are exposed by Axel Bruns's analytical perspective on the actual uses and impact of the Internet in politics, which raises new and even more troubling questions.'
William H. Dutton, University of Southern California and University of Oxford
 
'This is precisely the wake-up call we need: a book that blows up myths about "filter bubbles" and "echo chambers", showing how misleading these concepts have become. Bruns offers smarter ways of thinking about the issues and explains the real concerns that need our attention at a critical moment for media, politics, and public life.'
Seth C. Lewis, University of Oregon
