'Schroeder reveals some interesting facts concerning interaction with content posted on social media [in] Tethered togetherness, The spread of social media, Sociability and social divides, Visual copresence, Alone or together and Globalizing sociability.' Medijske Studije 'A highly ambitious contribution that allows us to take a step back and to systematically think of digital media's contribution to social change in different social systems and its boundedness on country-specific contexts.... Schroeder's book is a highly valuable addition to the literature.' The International Journal of Press/Politics
