I’ve just started working my way through this series of books produced by UCL’s massive Why We Post project. The past work of the project team is fantastic and I’m hopeful this will prove to be an important series of books, breaking new anthropological ground in our understanding of how and why people use social media. Not all of the books are released yet but these are the ones currently available:
- How the World Changed Social Media
- Social Media in an English Village
- Social Media in Southeast Turkey
- Social Media in Northern Chile
- Social Media in Industrial China
- Social Media in Rural China
- Social Media in Southeast Italy
They’re also freely available in PDF! This is a wonderful innovation from UCL’s Press and one we’ll hopefully see more of in the future.
