Nor has this understanding been helped by disciplinary specialization and a continual focus on the latest innovations. Ralph Schroeder takes a longer-term view, synthesizing perspectives and findings from various social science disciplines in four countries: the United States, Sweden, India and China. His comparison highlights, among other observations, that smartphones are in many respects more important than PC-based internet uses. Social Theory after the Internet focuses on everyday uses and effects of the internet, including information seeking and big data, and explains how the internet has gone beyond traditional media in, for example, enabling Donald Trump and Narendra Modi to come to power. Schroeder puts forward a sophisticated theory of the role of the internet, and how both technological and social forces shape its significance. He provides a sweeping and penetrating study, theoretically ambitious and at the same time always empirically grounded.The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of digital media and society, the internet and politics, and the social implications of big data. 606 $aSociety & social sciences$2bicssc 606 $aMedia studies$2bicssc 606 $aSociology & anthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 606 $aSocial theory$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aSociety & social sciences 615 7$aMedia studies 615 7$aSociology & anthropology 615 7$aSociology 615 7$aSocial theory 700 $aSchroeder$b Ralph$4aut$0551913 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910251397003321 996 $aSocial Theory after the Internet$92006375 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01455nam 2200373Ia 450 001 9910699133803321 005 20230902161559.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002400560 035 $a(OCoLC)692756229 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002400560 100 $a20101215d2009 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aOffice of Advocacy research academic citation study, 1992-2007$b[electronic resource] /$fby Jimmy L.
