[Air-L] New book: The Digital Backlash and the Paradoxes of Disconnection, open access!

[Trine Syvertsen]

I am happy to announce our new book: The Digital Backlash and the Paradoxes of Disconnection, available open access!
https://www.nordicom.gu.se/en/publications/digital-backlash-and-paradoxes-disconnection

The contributions of this book demonstrate that we are currently in a historical moment of digital backlash and explore how this backlash is expressed across different domains of society.
Individuals, workplaces, and institutions debate how to balance the use of digital devices, yet complete disconnection is rarely an option. This book delves into the reactions to intense digitalisation and the dilemmas faced by those who push back.

The Digital Backlash and the Paradoxes of Disconnection is edited by Kristoffer Albris (University of Copenhagen), Karin Fast (Karlstad University), Faltin Karlsen (Kristiania University College), Anne Kaun (Södertörn University College), Stine Lomborg (University of Copenhagen), and Trine Syvertsen (University of Oslo).

Chapters by: Rasmus Helles, Malene Hornstrup Jespersen, Ingrid Forsler, Carina Guyard, Linus Andersson, Christoffer Bagger, Gunn Enli, Maja Klausen, Yukun You, Sne Scott Hansen, Alessandro Gandini, Victoria Andelsman Álvarez, Mehri S. Agai, Signe Sophus Lai, Lucas Cone, Ana Jorge, André Jansson, Kari Spjeldnæs, & Tero Karppi.
