The age of digital media has given rise to a new social world, a world in which the transmission of information from the few to the many is increasingly being replaced by the multidirectional flow of facts, lies, and ideas. It is a world in which hundreds of millions of people voluntarily deposit vast amounts of personal data in publicly accessible databases. It is a world in which interpersonal relationships are increasingly conducted in the virtual sphere. Above all, it is a world that seems to be deviating in unpredictable ways from the trends of the immediate past. This book is a deep analysis of that world and the changes it has brought to our lives.

In more than thirty essays written by a wide range of scholars, this essential second edition examines the impact of digital media in six areas—information, persuasion, community, gender and sexuality, surveillance and privacy, and intercultural communication—and offers invaluable guidance for students and scholars alike. With one exception, all of the essays are either entirely new or revised for this volume.
