California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom brings a dose of optimism to the political stage as he talks about his new book, "Citizenville: Reconnecting People and Government in the Digital Age." In an interview with UC San Diego's Thad Kousser, Newsom cites examples of individuals around the country who are bridging the vast chasm between government and technologies that are revolutionizing other parts of our daily lives. Newsom contends that the best way for Americans to secure their future is to use technologies to reinvent their relationships with government. (#24685)
