This is a wonderful book. Through beautifully rich interviews, Boczkowski brings to life the ways in which technology, and the unfathomable amount of information made available through these devices, is shaping our world. While the focus of the research is on Argentina, I found myself nodding along throughout, so relevant are the descriptions and insights. It feels like a delicious palate cleanser after years of scholarship focused entirely on US experiences.
