Full Description
In Still Trending, author Kenneth N. Weiss transports us back to the earliest form of "social media". Some of the similarities we observe over time are startling, and two realities remain steadfastly true: The country has a rich and often troubled history as a democracy, and time and time again, we manage to work through our differences. Democracy not only survives but emerges stronger than ever before.
