In this age of big data and digital analytics, Edwards questions our idealization of changes produced by digital technologies. While updating the reader about how digital technologies are altering many industries and particular ways of life, this book highlights the centralization of power and the lack of human context that has ensued. It provides an overview of the far reaching consequences of the digital revolution and asks us to reevaluate the role of digital technology in our lives.--Veena V. Raman, PhD, Department of Communication Arts & Sciences, Pennsylvania State University
