Like the iPhone itself, Moving Data is personal, mobile, and globally networked. Established and emerging scholars from media, information, and cultural studies track the transnational trajectory of the iPhone. These essays are accessible to a general reader, even while keeping in mind the telling differences between contacts and critique, apps and analysis. -- Richard Grusin, Director, Center for 21st Century Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The iPhone is the first landmark 21st century invention. Not only the embodiment of a 'disruptive technology' and with its 'applications' reversing the semantics of hardware to software, it also confirms that we need mobility studies to succeed - if not to supersede - cultural studies. Moving Data nimbly signals these shifts and serves as a sure-footed road map to the new territory. -- Thomas Elsaesser, author of The Persistence of Hollywood
