This collection broadens our understanding of how we talk about the modern world, particularly of the vocabulary at work in information technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContributors scrutinise each keyword independently: for example, the recent pairing of digital and analog is separated, while classic terms such as community, culture, event, memory, and democracy are treated in light of their historical and intellectual importance. Metaphors of the cloud in cloud computing and the mirror in data mirroring combine with recent and radical uses of terms such as information, sharing, gaming, algorithm, and internet to reveal previously hidden insights into contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBookended by a critical introduction and a list of over two hundred other digital keywords, these essays provide concise, compelling arguments about our current mediated condition. \u003cem\u003eDigital Keywords\u003c\/em\u003e delves into what language does in today's information revolution and why it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430594068716,"sku":"9780691167343","price":70.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691167343.jpg?v=1774559017","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/digital-keywords-9780691167343","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
