The culture we consume is increasingly delivered to us via various
digital on-demand platforms. The last decade has seen platforms
like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Google and the like become
massive players in shaping cultural consumption. But how can we
understand culture once it moves on to big tech platforms? How can
we make sense of the changes this brings to our lives? These
platforms have the power to shape our cultural landscape and to use
data, algorithms and other technological means to shape our
experiences, from what we remember through to what we know and even
the speed and accessibility of culture. This book asks how can we
understand the chaos and messiness of on-demand culture? Beer
suggests that we focus on the quirks and use these as openings to
see inside patterns and dynamics of these new cultural formations.
By exploring the strange quirks that typify our new on-demand
culture, this book seeks to answer these questions. The Quirks of
Digital Culture is a guide to understanding the complex and
unsettling cultural present, whilst also casting an eye on how our
consumption and cultural experiences may unfold in what seems like
an unpredictable future.
