How would sortition work with the US's modern lobbying setup? Wouldn't that tilt the balance even farther in favor of career lobbyists than it already is?

It's difficult to discuss a whole book as a HN post. Or are we discussing it an ad? The idea is interesting, but it would take some effort digging into the details to say more.

... actually i see some scary issues with the idea on the surface. I would want to decline if i was chosen, as it may pose a risk to my life and destroy my relationships if people knew. Suddenly every person within 30 mile radius wants to talk to me and convince me of something.
