Reviews

“Semantic Media is an exceptional primer on the meaning-making power big tech exerts through the seemingly innocuous technologies of online search and personal assistants. Iliadis deftly demonstrates how efforts to deliver information to the consumer have far-reaching cultural consequences. A must-read for scholars and students seeking to address contemporary challenges in information and technology.” Andrea L. Guzman, Northern Illinois University “Iliadis provides a broad introduction to semantic approaches and why they matter, as well as strong theoretical connections and illustrations of their practical application. Anyone interested in how knowledge is constructed and shared in a networked society will find the book enlightening and generative.” Alexander Halavais, Arizona State University
