It’s rare in the world of tech or politics when gurus go back and remind us of their early predictions and then admit how wrong they were. So Micah Sifry’s book, “The Big Disconnect: Why the Internet Hasn’t Transformed Politics (Yet),“ is a refreshing read. In it, he looks back to 2004 and revisits all the exciting, optimistic things people were saying about how the Web would change politics. His big reveal: It just hasn’t happened.

Sifry was at the Harvard Berkman Center this week to talk about his book and give us a less euphoric, but still optimistic view of how technology and politics will support us in the future.
