The tsunami of information unleashed by digitization is threatening to overwhelm us, drowning us in a sea of frenzied communication and disrupting many spheres of social life, including politics.  Election campaigns are now being waged as information wars with bots and troll armies, and democracy is degenerating into infocracy.
