商品簡介
Revealing, engaging, and mapping the contours of emerging digital terrains from a variety of perspectives, this book uncovers the ways in which "the digital" is encroaching, reformulating, and recreating social spaces, even what it means to be social in an increasingly digitally-mediated age. In order to capture the complex dimensions of this digital shift the editors include a comprehensive range of disciplinary perspectives: politics, sociology, science, philosophy, informatics, public policy, communications and media studies.
While many of the authors propose real answers to digital dilemmas, the aim is to explore the properties of digital technologies to discern a range of pathways into our digitally-mediated future. The book examines vexing dilemmas with a critical eye as well as prompting readers to think constructively and strategically about alternative pathways and transformative possibilities for our social futures.
