Digitized Lives

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is it: the book on meanings digital that we are waiting to use. Share it with students, friends, colleagues, family, and neighbors. It speaks both in depth but also in conversation, with that touch for communication uniquely T. V. Reed's. Reed's care for details that matter is crucial for collectives of all kinds, especially when drawn properly as glimpses of bigger pictures always only just emerging, working with and toward sustainability."

"Digitized Lives approaches a wide range of complex questions about digital media in our lives and does so with a thoughtfulness and curiosity that will keep readers engrossed page after page. Tracing the enormous impacts that digital media have on an array of topics-such as identity, equality, access, material culture, e-waste, sex, politics, games, and education-T. V. Reed's provocative book will start meaningful conversations, intercede in important debates, and point us in new directions as digital technology continues to become a central character in our everyday lives."

"T. V. Reed's Digitized Lives makes an important contribution to today's increasingly mediated society and culture, in which nearly every aspect of our everyday lives is touched by digital technology. This clear-eyed demystification of digital cultures' benefits and threats functions as an indispensable guidebook for understanding the Internet today and its status as one of the most powerful communication tools of our modern age."

-Anna Everett, Ph.D., Professor of Film & Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara

"The subjects Reed brings up should lead readers to think about and discuss the new 'digitized lives' on which we embarked just a few decades ago. This readable text and its companion website, Digital Cultures (http://www.culturalpolitics.net/digital_cultures), will be valuable for anyone interested in communication and the impact of the Internet... Summing Up: Recommended. All Readers."
