Recenzii
'Digital reality' is a provocative combination of words, for all sorts of reasons. In this book, Melanie Chan gives a compelling argument for why these words, when placed together, seem less challenging than in the past. She convincingly argues that old ideas about the distinction between 'offlline' and 'online' worlds and experiences no longer hold, as sensory experiences and bodies have increasingly melded with digital technologies.
The lines between the digital and physical have become increasingly blurred over the last two decades, and that blurring will continue as we adopt more and more advanced forms of mobile technology. Chan's Digital Reality addresses our new forms of hybridity in interesting, insightful ways. Chan combines mobile media research with traditional philosophy to shed light on our mobile practices. This book is an important contribution to how we understand contemporary shifts in embodiment and mobile practice.
