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

In chapters examining a broad range of issues—including digitized identities, sexuality, politics in the post-truth era, digital games and education, race and gender relations, e-waste, 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.

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