From the Back Cover

"This engagingly written and elegantly designed study tests to their limits half a century's worth of big ideas about collective action. The authors convincingly show why information signals, visibility, and the distribution of thresholds are important for explaining the pace and scale of political engagement. Essential reading if you want to understand how it all kicks off online."--Andrew Chadwick, author of The Hybrid Media System: Politics and Power

"This compelling book shows how, when, and why individuals decide to join online collective actions, and what makes those actions scale up. Using a fascinating array of cases taken from the news headlines of our time, the authors draw an important set of conclusions about democracy in turbulent times. Political Turbulence provides invaluable insights into political participation, individual choice, and democracy in an age of changing societies and politics."--Lance Bennett, University of Washington

"Political Turbulence is an exciting book. The authors bring a psychological perspective to the analysis of experimental results and big data to tell an insightful and fresh story about social media and collective action dynamics at the individual level."--Bruce Bimber, author of Information and American Democracy: Technology in the Evolution of Political Power

"This is great, adventurous social science."--Philip N. Howard, coauthor of Democracy's Fourth Wave?: Digital Media and the Arab Spring
