Digital Revolutions

A revolution is generally defined as “a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system”.

A revolution, as opposed to an evolution, could not be stopped. People could be against it or participate in it, but it will happen. In order to be able to act (against or for it), it is necessary to understand the forces in action and their causality.
