Are Filter Bubbles Real?
Axel Bruns
"Are Filter Bubbles Real?" challenges the widespread concern over the impact of partisan echo chambers and filter bubbles on public debate. Axel Bruns argues that these concerns have been overstated and distract us from larger issues like the rise of populism and hyperpolarisation in democracies. Bruns offers a compelling argument for why we should shift our focus to more important problems. This timely book is a must-read for anyone interested in challenges to public debate and the democratic process.

@esglaude @jkosseff Too much is being assumed. See, for example, the belief that we are all in filter bubbles and echo chamber. Research finds otherwise. Here I recommend @snurb_dot_info excellent book, "Are Filter Bubbles Real?" The answer from much research is no. – source
