      abstract = {Terror warnings, fake news, spectacles and scandals in  real time the networked world has wound itself up into a  nervous frenzy, where everything has become visible: the  banal and the terrible, the uninhibited abuse and the  anonymous attack. Translated for the first time into  English, Digital Fever analyses the patterns of outrage and  agitation that have come to define social media and the  Internet, exposing their devastating impact on our notions  of truth, debate, authority and power. In this endless  cycle of outrage, Poerksen argues that the intelligent use  of information must become part of the general education  provided by schools: the digital society must be  transformed into an editorial one. In order for democracy  to survive, we must as a society achieve media maturity. A  blazing tour of the contemporary landscape of fake-news,  echo chambers, disinformation, manipulation, and the  turbulence that democracy is undergoing, this book not only  analyses this digital economy of outrage, but serves as a  guiding light to overcome it.},
