Reviews

This is an insightful book that takes the reader on a fascinating journey into areas of the digital world that we perhaps have not explored yet academically, and sets youth practices (which are not confined to 'youth') in a wider frame of sociocultural analysis.-- "The Year's Work in English Studies"

This is not just a superb overview of the field of mobile communications but an innovative intervention in the field; the author offers sophisticated reflection on how major theorists such as Bakhtin and Derrida remain relevant in grappling with space-age communication technology.--Professor Christopher Stroud, University of the Western Cape
