Understanding Digital Culture

This is not simply a book about 'internet studies'. It is a book that considers many wider forms of digital culture, includingmobile technologies,surveillance,algorithms,ambient intelligence,gaming,big dataandtechnological bodies(to name a few) in order to explore howdigital technology - in a broad sense - is used within the wider contexts of our everyday lives. "The first edition ofUnderstanding Digital Cultureset a new benchmark as the most comprehensive, scholarly and accessible introduction to the area. This latest edition, thoroughly updated and substantially expanded, is even better - a perfectly balanced book that combines theory and empirical analysis to illuminate the cutting-edge of cultural and social change." - Professor Majid Yar,Lancaster University
