Canaries in the Data Mine offers an account of the lived
experiences and cultural expectations of young people growing up in
digital environments increasingly owned by others and designed for
profit. At the book's core is a participatory research project that
first interviewed New York City teens about their digital habits
and then engaged a group of five young people in designing the
prototypical platform of their time: a social network. In this
engaging book, Gregory T. Donovan penetrates beyond the interface
to consider the digital geography of contemporary youth, arguing
that understanding what young people are grappling with portends
what is, or will soon be, felt by society at large. Drawing from
in-depth interviews and design workshops, he shows how
informational capitalism is reproduced at an intimate scale as well
as how involving young people in digital design can foster
capacities for reworking and resisting the conditions of a rising
rentier society.
