War isn't what it used to be, and neither is protesting. SMS, cell phones, and the Internet have changed everything, as seen in 2/15: The Day the World Said No to War, a new book of photographs compiled by Hello [NYC]. The design firm pinpointed February 15, 2003, as the day these technologies took over public outcry: In 600 cities, from Tokyo to Tehran, millions of people hit the streets for a global antiwar rally before the US-led attack on Iraq. Even the book itself, which contains 131 images from 38 countries, wouldn't have come together without networked organization – entries were solicited by email, and all submissions were made online.
