Digital Democracy: How imitation, persuasion, propaganda, and disinformation shape everything from individual and collective decisions to the future o (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264465413)

In an age where our choices-from what we buy to what we believe-are increasingly shaped by digital platforms, understanding how opinions are formed and how decisions emerge has never been more urgent. Democracy itself, once anchored in ballot boxes, now unfolds across timelines, comment sections, and algorithmically curated feeds.

From everyday choices to national elections, the way opinions spread and take shape is not random - it follows patterns. This book takes you on a journey into Sociophysics, a groundbreaking field that uses the tools of Physics to reveal the hidden dynamics behind collective behavior.

Accessible and thought-provoking, it shows how interactions between individuals can build consensus, fuel polarization, and even decide the fate of democracies. More than a scientific exploration, it is an invitation to see society through a new lens - one where data, models, and human behavior intertwine to explain how we decide together.
