War in 140 Characters: How Social Media Is Reshaping Conflict in the Twenty-First Century | 
pickThis book took me a while to finish, but it was eye- opening. I had never thought about how much the advent of web 2.0 changed the way we interact with the world. Lots of information here and examples from different places from around the world,so it feels like a brain dump sometimes, but it shifted my thinking as well.
The whole part within the green is powerful stuff. It's such an interesting way to look at the interplay between religion, our notions of wanting freedom for ourselves, and terrorism. Fascinating
The more I read about present-day political situations, the more Putin comes up, and the scarier he gets. This book is about how a large percentage of "war" is now done through trying to change the discourse surrounding the countries, rather than the 20th century idea of war.
My reading buddies sure are taking up a lot of room...

My library always has the best selection of new releases I've never heard of - which is saying something considering that I work in a bookstore! Really excited about these 3...as well as the other 17 books hiding in my car so my husband can't complain about how many I got! #libraryhaul #newreleases
