I personally am not a huge fan of reading manual style books however America is an Idea by Michael Cyrus Pousti interested me because I had never really heard of empowr before and the concept interested me. I found it interesting that the current president of the company was voted in by the users. As far as social media use goes I tend to stick with Facebook and Twitter once in while, but I wanted to learn about empowr and possibly join the site.
As I opened the book I came face to page with the table of contents, I have to say it is a bit of an eyesore with how every chapter line is bracketed by lines above and below it. It actually kind of hurt my eyes just looking at it. However I urge you to fight past your urge to close the book if you have any interesting in learning the answer to the why.
I was somewhat leery going in as I expected the book to use a lot of difficult to understand technical jargon.
