It is an indispensable text for anyone interested in understanding the diversity and complexity of how the digital is woven into everyday life. -- Martin HandThe real strength of this book is that it is jam packed with good clear examples of research. It is not merely an exhortation to digital ethnography, it shows how much and how well this has already been carried out. The result is a powerful case for this approach as one of the best ways of gaining a properly informed, contextualized and conceptually grounded understanding of our new digital worlds. -- Daniel MillerNew phenomena invite us to rethink our ways of knowing about the world and about ourselves – as researchers and participants in an increasingly digitally-mediated world.

In addition, the book also encourages thinking about new ways of empirical research into media materiality in different disciplines and research fields -- Donya Alinejad * KWALON * Review Quote This is a delightful book - lively, engaging, challenging - providing us with the best available resource for exploring the exciting field of digital ethnography.
