Excerpt from A Spiritual Ground of Hope for the Salvation of Our Country: A Discourse Delivered in the New Jerusalem Temple, Chicago, August 6, 1863 We have been invited by our Chief Magistrate to assemble to-day for a special purpose, and special reasons are assigned by him for the invitation. We are called upon "to render homage to the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things he has done in the nation's behalf, and invoke the influence of his Holy Spirit to subdue the anger which has produced and so long sustained a needless and cruel rebellion; to change the hearts of the insurgents; to guide the counsels of the Government with wisdom adequate to the great national emergency; to visit with tender care and consolation, throughout the length and breadth of our laud, all those who, through the vicissitudes of war, have been brought to suffer in mind, body or estate; and finally, to lead the whole nation, through paths of repentance and submission to the Divine will, to the perfect enjoyment of union and fraternal peace."

How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.
