Brookings Book News - May 27, 2011 - Brookings Institution: "n 1930, a heated debate erupted in the U.S. Senate, as the march of technology was replacing operator assisted calls with a new device - the rotary dial telephone. Some senators were incensed that they would now have to dial their own calls. Darrell West begins his new book, The Next Wave: Using Digital Technology to Further Social and Political Innovation, with this quaint anecdote from the 20th century, and adeptly explores how the next wave of digital technologies can be harnessed to further U.S. social and political innovation."
