Updated throughout, the Second Edition of this bestselling text includes new and expanded discussions of:

The rise of apps and platforms, and how they shape our experiences
Sharing economies and social media publics
The increasing importance of visual economies

Tying theory to the real world with a range of contemporary case studies throughout, it is essential reading for students and researchers of social media, digital media, digital culture, and the creative and cultural industries.
