NEW YORK BOOK LAUNCH: SANDSTROM: A Leaderless Revolution in the Digital Age

NEW YORK BOOK LAUNCH: SANDSTROM: A Leaderless Revolution in the Digital Age

NEW YORK (July 2011) – Authors, Adeel A. Shah and Sheheryar T. Sardar, Esq. will host the launch celebration of their new book: Sandstorm: a leaderless revolution in the digital age on July 30th from 7-9pm at luxury fashion outlet Misha Nicole. The reception will feature a conversation with the authors and will raise funds for Project Peanut Butter, on organization that helps feed children in Africa.

Sandstorm examines Arab Spring and the role that social media and the Global Generation played in supporting the revolution in Egypt. The authors have, in a very short time, analyzed how the digital age has changed the dynamics of revolution.

"This was not a Twitter Revolution, that was an over-simplified statement made by media pundits.  We wanted to delve deeper, to understand how something could rise with such fervor across the globe.  The answer was more complex than just social media: it was a Global Generation that found its voice." - Adeel A. Shah

Global Generationers in Egypt and the US were predicted to be the apathetic generation, addicted to the internet and lacking drive.  This book analyzes how that was a fallacy; not only is this generation one that creates change, its also a generation of socially responsible individuals that have broken down global barriers through social and digital media." – Sheheryar T. Sardar

Sandstorm can be purchased at the book launch event for $14.99 (20% of all proceeds will go to Project Peanut Butter to help feed children in Africa) and is available from Nook for $9.99 and on Kindle for $8.99.

For interviews with Adeel A. Shah and Sheheryar T. Sardar, please contact Rohan Sheth. Media is invited to the book launch and may RSVP on Eventbrite.
