Metaphors of Internet
Description
Reviews / Votes
"Metaphors of the Internet is an extraordinary book, which zooms from the early days of cyberspace to the present moment to ask how we might conceptualise what the internet is, feels and means. Curated by the fabulous duo of Annette Markham and Katrin Tiidenberg this book presents a new vision and mode of encountering the internet in everyday lives and biographies. It presents an at once collective and carefully crafted, but also deeply personalised and reflexive, series of metaphors and stories through which the internet and life can be conceptualised as part of the same world. It invites us to acknowledge and contemplate anew how our own and others' lives are entangled in the creativity and politics of everyday environments, that are never not digital. Metaphors of the Internet is essential, fascinating and accessible reading for anyone from any academic or practice-based discipline who is interested in understanding the internet."-Sarah Pink, Professor of Design and Emerging Technologies, Monash University, author of Situating Everyday Life: Practices and Places and Doing Sensory EthnographyMore details
