This book presents the path of cyber-activism as a way of breaking away from limiting situations within systems of low social and political governance. Faced with the fluid environment and hypertextual knowledge of the web, collective intelligence takes shape by bringing together people who share ideals, agglutinate conceptions and design specific worldviews. The construction of the individual and of collective movements is fed and nourished by the content shared through digital media. Kooora Tunisie is a Facebook page created to spread the ideals of a democratic revolution that didn't happen. Patricia Basseto spoke directly with Tunisian cyber revolutionaries to understand not only the Jasmine Revolution, but also how cyberculture has become a tool for empowerment and dissemination, and from this to develop a new media form - the interactive documentary. Communication Sciences and Anthropology blend to understand some of today's most complex phenomena: cyberculture and the Arab Spring, in a vast survey of data that culminates in the birth of a new way of making documentaries.
