People 'overshare' when they interact with others through the
screens of computers and smartphones. Oversharing means to divulge
more of their inner feelings, opinions and sexuality than they
would in person, or even over the phone. Text messaging,
Facebooking, tweeting, camming, blogging, online dating, and
internet porn are vehicles of this oversharing, which blurs the
boundary between public and private life. This book examines these
'presentations of self', acknowledging that we are now much more
public about what used to be private. With this second edition,
Agger adds a new chapter on whether privacy is possible that
addresses selfies, job loss due to oversharing, the surveillance
state, and examples of when the private should go public.
