'This is a landmark book that definitively demonstrates that political opinion formation is critically dependent on informal networks. The combination of experiments and decades of survey data not only makes the book a model of multi-methodological rigor, but also allows the authors to isolate the roots of expertise and opinion bias. This is a must-read for anyone interested in how democracies operate.' Jamie Druckman, Northwestern University
