The author argues that social movements regularly use technology to challenge powerful people and ideas, but that those technologies aren't limited to just social media. He demonstrates the ways different technologies (esp. drones and satellites) act as new tools in the air to transform politics on the ground. As the author writes in the book's introduction, "I wrote this book out of fascination and frustration. Original fascination with our ability to support social movements on the street gave way to frustration with the lack of theoretical resources in social movement theory and the skepticism of some of our movement allies on the ground. The core argument in this book is simple. Technology matters for politics, and it matters in important ways.' Choi-Fitzpatrick forces us to broaden our understanding of the technologies we see playing a role in politics and by extension, our perceptions and understandings of technologies that we may not have always associated with public good"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aActing with technology. 606 $aSocial movements$xTechnological innovations 606 $aTechnology$xSocial aspects 606 $aTechnology$xPolitical aspects 610 $aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Sociology 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/General 615 0$aSocial movements$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aTechnology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aTechnology$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aChoi-Fitzpatrick$b Austin$01189999 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557731803321 996 $aThe good drone$92821668 997 $aUNINA
