Reviews

At last, a collection on social media and protest that is genuinely critical spanning both the nature of the technological tools the political-economic environment they are part of, the organisational responses these formations then lend themselves to and the political consequences they reap. Rich in detail, broad in remit, interrogatory by design this will be my 'turn to' book on this subject for years to come. -- Natalie Fenton, Professor of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths University of London
