Summary:

"This SAGE Handbook of Digital Society brings together cutting edge social scientific research
and theoretical insight into the emerging contours of digital society. Chapters explore the
relationship between digitisation, social organisation and social transformation at both the
macro and micro level, making this a valuable resource for postgraduate students and academics
conducting research across the social sciences.
The topics covered are impressively far-ranging and timely, including machine learning, social
media, surveillance, misinformation, digital labour and beyond. This innovative Handbook
perfectly captures the state of the art of a field which is rapidly gaining cross-disciplinary
interest and global importance, and establishes a thematic framework for future teaching and
research"--provided by the publisher
