To grasp their dynamics and implications, people often rely on metaphors to provide a shared frame of reference. Scholars, journalists, tech companies, and policymakers alike speak of digital clouds, bubbles, frontiers, platforms, trolls, and rabbit holes. Some of these metaphors distort the workings of the digital realm and neglect key consequences. This collection, structured in three parts, explores metaphors across digital infrastructures, content, and users. Within these parts, each chapter examines a specific metaphor that has become near-ubiquitous in public debate. Doing so, the book engages not only with the technological, but also the social, political, and environmental implications of digital technologies and relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique collection will interest students and scholars of digital media and the broader fields of media and communication studies, sociology, and science and technology studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan Farkas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032674598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032674599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.36d","brand":"Johan Farkas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372633673983,"sku":"9781032674599","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_114fa5fd-27eb-48c8-9ece-15ef61360a9e.jpg?v=1732726514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-media-metaphors-johan-farkas-9781032674599","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
