[Commlist] New book: Digital Food: From Paddock to Platform

I’m pleased to announce I have a new book out with Bloomsbury entitled 
Digital Food: From Paddock to Platform

https://www.bloomsbury.com/au/digital-food-9781350055094/

Tania Lewis offers the first critical account of the impact of digital 
information, media, and communication technologies on the topic of food. 
Lewis critically analyzes how our relationship to food consumption, 
production, and politics is being re-mediated through digitally 
connected electronic devices, practices and content. By drawing together 
the world of food and the digital, the book speaks to a number of 
pressing contemporary themes including the tensions around digital 
engagement in increasingly commercialized spaces; the changing nature of 
politics in a social media context; the growing naturalization of 
digital devices and related practices of data monitoring; and the role 
and impact of digitization on social relations.
