Description

In today’s world, digital media and the social are irreversibly intertwined. In this cutting-edge introduction, Simon Lindgren introduces a wide range of concepts and approaches that aid in exploring and understanding what it means to live in a digital society. In this new edition you will encounter:

- An exploration of non-progressive forms of digital activism, including radicalization and hate groups

- Added coverage of post-pandemic, post-truth digital media with topics such as disinformation and computational propaganda

- Cutting-edge content on algorithms, covering recent developments in generative AI, LLMs, and synthetic media such as deepfakes.

- Expanded learning features and discussion prompts to put theory into practice

Updated, revised and expanded throughout to cover emerging platforms and issues, this book is a must-have for students exploring digital media, social media, and the internet.
