In the background are huge, electricity-hungry, carbon emitting systems that conduct roughly two trillion near-instantaneous, automated auctions every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes you into the heart of this mysterious world. It describes how Google built its astonishing global system of warehouse-scale computing and turned that system into an unprecedented, multi-billion dollar, money-earning machine, and how Facebook - almost by accident - also became an advertising leviathan. It examines the tensions between those giants and the smaller firms that populate digital advertising's open marketplace. Those tensions, as well as conflicts over user privacy, give rise to a new kind of politics that plays out in material systems, in the form of crucial clashes between different ways of designing those systems. Building on work in the emerging interdisciplinary field of market studies, MacKenzie and Caliskan examine digital advertising's material politics, its giant megamachines, and the foundations of platform power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInside Digital Advertising\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the processes that underpin today's global advertising industry. It will be a key book for students and academics in the social sciences, humanities and business studies and it will appeal to anyone interested in the forces that are shaping our everyday digital world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald MacKenzie,Koray Caliskan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509568646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509568642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Donald MacKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424741441791,"sku":"9781509568642","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_251e4771-5610-45f5-911d-1a6d5d522733.jpg?v=1761532216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inside-digital-advertising-donald-mackenzie-9781509568642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
