Hyperpolitics

The essays collected in this volume represent an attempt to apprehend and articulate the forms of power within the connected era. I came to this research from earlier work in the studies of communities and the sharing of media; by the middle 2000s it had become clear that not just the distribution of media but the distribution of power itself had begun to decisively shift. As I looked deeper, I began to understand that ‘hyperconnectivity’ created a platform for the vast transformations in culture appearing with both greater frequency and piquancy.
