Book: Seeing
A 2004 novel by the late Nobel prize-winning Portuguese author, José Saramago, explores how blank votes and peaceful protest might be construed as "terrorism" against democracy: "Seeing", trans. Margaret Jull Costa (Harvill Secker, 2006).
Quote: "José Saramago has deftly created the politician's ultimate nightmare: disillusionment not with one party, but with all, thereby rendering the entire democratic system useless. Seeing explores how simply this could be achieved and how devastating the results might be."
