Digital technology has defined modern society in numerous ways, and the vibrant digital culture that has now resulted is the subject of Charlie Gere's engaging volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this revised and expanded second edition, taking account of new developments such as Facebook and the iPhone, Charlie Gere charts in detail the history of digital culture, as marked by responses to digital technology in art, music, design, film, literature and other areas. After tracing the historical development of digital culture, Gere argues that it is actually neither radically new nor technologically driven: digital culture has its roots in the eighteenth century and the digital mediascape we swim in today was originally inspired by informational needs arising from industrial capitalism, contemporary warfare and counter-cultural experimentation, among other social changes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA timely and cutting-edge investigation of our contemporary social infrastructures, \u003ci\u003eDigital Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for all those concerned about the ever-changing future of our Digital Age. \"This is an excellent book.
