Tim Dwyer Libri

Exploring the implications of pervasive data collection, this book invites readers to envision a future beyond major tech giants like Facebook and Google. It delves into the complex dynamics between corporations, government, and citizens within capitalist information societies, highlighting potential conflicts and the evolving landscape of digital privacy. The narrative encourages critical reflection on our current media practices and the societal shifts that may arise as we navigate this intricate digital terrain.

In a world of proliferating media devices, convergence, mobility and social media usage, diverse cultures and globalized media invite comparative understanding of the legal and ethical issues that now confront media audiences and practitioners. Dwyer explores key frameworks and concepts that will engage and challenge thinking about media practice.
