Producing the Internet: Critical Perspectives of Social Media (Book review)

The main objective of Producing the Internet: Critical Perspectives of Social Media is to analyse the newly emerging ‘participatory culture’ the Internet is said to inherit: do users benefit from an increased freedom to raise their voice in virtual environments?
