Reviews

An emotionally intense, imaginative journey into the way our online lives mediate the experience and definition of the suffering subject. This book should appeal to a general audience as well as to specialists in media and communication and health communication who are intensely interested in how the new online world has shaped the most fundamental of human emotions and experiences. --Andrea L. Press co-author of Media-Ready Feminism and Everyday Sexism: How U.S. Audiences Create Meanings Across Platforms
