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.

"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

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."
