New Power
New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World—and How to Make It Work for You
In the revolutionary work "New Power," authors Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms embark on an analytical journey to decode the seismic shifts in how power operates in the digital age. With an incisive look at the dynamics that have propelled movements like #MeToo and entities such as Facebook into the global consciousness, Heimans and Timms reveal a fundamental transformation from the jealously guarded 'old power' to a more inclusive, participatory 'new power.' This emergent form thrives on connectivity, growing stronger as it engages more people in its flow, challenging traditional hierarchies and reshaping the landscapes of politics, business, and societal norms. By weaving together a tapestry of case studies from diverse realms including business giants like Airbnb, grassroots movements, and digital platforms that have redefined influence, "New Power" presents a compelling guide for understanding and navigating the fluid power dynamics of the 21st century. The authors not only illuminate the mechanisms that enable new power to flourish but also caution against its potential to be co-opted for nefarious purposes, as seen with ISIS and the alt-right. At its core, this seminal book offers a dual vision: a blueprint for harnessing the potential of new power to foster greater participation and equality, and a warning of the challenges that lie ahead in a world increasingly ruled by the unpredictable currents of mass collaboration and digital innovation.
