Karen Frost-Arnold, in her important and meticulously argued new book, offers a major contribution to researchers of online life across social scientific and humanistic inquiry - and keenly bridges the two. She provides us with an entirely new toolkit and philosophical framework for understanding. For anyone interested in the motivations and (self-) conceptions of those who make up the internet of people, this book is a must-read.
Karen Frost-Arnold is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Hobart & William Smith Colleges. Her research focuses on the philosophy of the internet, the epistemology and ethics of trust, social epistemology, philosophy of science, and feminist philosophy.
