An unprecedented transdisciplinary call to reassess the meaning of 
participation in the digital age. Structured along four axes 
investigating the relations between participation and politics, 
surveillance, openness, and aesthetics, The Participatory Condition in 
the Digital Age comprises fifteen essays that explore the promises, 
possibilities, and failures of contemporary participatory media 
practices. This book represents the most comprehensive and 
transdisciplinary endeavor to date to examine the nature, place, and 
value of participation in the digital age.
