Description
Digital media have changed everything. Grant Bollmer shows why we must think through this change, and how to think with and about it. -- Sean Cubitt At last, a clear and brilliant guide to the digital world, as both a virtual and material zone. Bravo! -- Toby Miller A theoretically rich and grounded text full of brand new insights into technology. Theorizing Digital Cultures lays out exactly how the relationship between digital media and culture is political. In doing so it sets a much needed example for both students and scholars on how to engage theories of media and culture in order to make sense of our emerging technological realities. -- Sarah Sharma
