TikTok has become a critical conduit for channelling and suppressing 
attention online, and for how users enact personal agency to circumvent 
the limitations and restrictions of social media platforms. This book 
adopts a digital anthropological approach to consider voices and stories 
from the grassroots, especially from the Asia Pacific region. It takes 
interest in the youth cultures that unfold on TikTok, how the features 
of the platform foster specific community practices, how it generates 
recognizable visual templates and communicative norms over time, and 
what impacts these might have in the spaces we inhabit.
