NEW BOOK - Planet Digital: A Global Media Cultures Reader

Tom Divon invites you to explore /Planet Digital: A Global Media 
Cultures Reader/, a new volume co-edited by Adrienne Shaw, Aswin 
Punathambekar, and Jonathan Gray that brings together 29 chapters from 
scholars across the globe challenging the myth of the "global village.

Each chapter opens a window into how regional histories, 
infrastructures, economies, and power relations shape the uneven 
landscapes of our digital world, and together they form a field-defining 
anthology examining the texts, genres, platforms, and industries that 
make up contemporary digital culture. From influencer cultures, 
streaming platforms, esports, and TikTok to Squid Game, K-Pop, Queer 
spaces, Marvel, Bluey, and Nollywood, the collection offers a rich set 
of case studies illuminating how digital media both reflect and remake 
cultural life across different parts of the world.
