From the reviews: “Newton Lee’s book, Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness, is a great book for social media experts, offering a comprehensive look at Facebook in the context of social media, and covering privacy well. Facebook Nation is full of facts, stories, and quotes that will give you plenty to talk about with clients and co-workers. You can open any page of this book and read something that is interesting and worth knowing about social media. ... The chapters on facial-recognition technology, ambient social apps collecting data on you constantly, and other insights about your digital footprint will give you plenty to think about. ... Facebook Nation is the most thoroughly researched book I have seen about Facebook. ... Facebook Nation is a must have for the social media expert’s bookshelf. The wealth of facts contained in the book make it worth buying, and anyone active in the social space should be aware of the privacy considerations related to what they are building.” (Will M., AllFacebook.com, January, 2013) “The author illustrates the pervasiveness of Facebook with stories of people addicted to using it. … The author gives a number of examples of misinformation on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. … The book is peppered with interesting tidbits that make it easy to read. … any reader, technical or nontechnical, will benefit from it.”(G. K. Gupta, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2013) “For anyone who has used a Facebook account to log on to any site, this work serves as an information disclosure on what individuals actually share when they post and what they voluntarily release to anyone with an account. … Lee’s book highlights how the information that people share can be used to help or harm them; it also will educate readers about this new irrevocable paradigm or technology integration. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.” (T. D. Richardson, Choice, Vol. 50 (9), May, 2013)
