Digitized Lives: Culture, Power and Social Change in the Internet Era

By T.V. Reed

Book Overview

In chapters examining a broad range of issues--including sexuality, politics, education, race, gender relations, the environment and social protest movements--Digitized Lives argues that making sense of digitized culture means looking past the glossy surface of techno gear to ask deeper questions about how we can utilize technology to create a more socially, politically and economically just world. This second edition includes important updates on mobile and social media, examining how new platforms and devices have altered how we interact with digital technologies in an allegedly 'post-truth' era.

A companion website (culturalpolitics.net/index/digital_cultures) includes links to online articles and useful websites, as well as a bibliography of offline resources, and more.
