Introduction -- What are social media? -- The sharing industry -- Remix cultures -- Convergence and the limits of citizen journalism -- TMI -- Distributed citizenship -- Conclusion -- References.

Summary: "Social media platforms have captured the attention and imagination of many millions of people, enabling their users to develop and display their creativity, to emphatize with others, and to find connection, communication and communion. But they are also surveillance systems through which those users become complicit in their own commercial exploitation. In this accessible book, Graham Meikle explores the tensions between these two aspects of social media."--Back cover.
