Summary of Astra Taylor's Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Writing a book is not a democratic process, but it is not a solitary one either. It is the result of the combined efforts of many people, from my agent to the people I interviewed for the film. #2 I owe a huge thank you to the Baffler, where I first tested out and published some of the material that made it into this book. I never doubt Riva Hocherman’s judgment, and I have benefited enormously from her erudition, skill, and impressive grasp of how books work. #3 I am extremely grateful to the people who helped me wrangle the manuscript into shape outside of official editing channels. My parents, siblings, and extended family are my anchor and inspiration. #4 Democracy is a word that is all around us, used in many different contexts. It is invoked in government, business, technology, education, and media. Yet, its meaning is rarely considered.
