Conventional wisdom suggests that the pervasiveness of digital media into our everyday lives is undermining cherished notions of politics and ethics. Is this concern unfounded?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this daring new book, Tim Markham argues that what it means to live ethically and politically is realized &lt;i&gt;through&lt;/i&gt;, not in spite of, the everyday experience of digital life. Drawing on a wide range of philosophers from Hegel and Heidegger to Levinas and Butler, he investigates what is really at stake amid the constant distractions of our media-saturated world, the way we present ourselves to that world through social media, and the relentless march of data into every aspect of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A provocation to think differently about digital media and what it is doing to us, &lt;i&gt;Digital Life&lt;/i&gt; offers timely insights into distraction and compassion fatigue, privacy and surveillance, identity and solidarity. It is essential reading for scholars and advanced students of media and communication.
