Today, we live in an age where consumption and consuming have
become dominant practices - so dominant they allow little room for
alternatives. Consumption has become a global phenomenon. This
expansion of consumption has occurred at the same time as notions
of information and digitization have become all-pervasive in our
media culture . As ever greater aspects of the world have come to
be seen as data, information has increasingly become the very
currency of consumption.Consumption in an Age of Information
analyses this new relationship between information and consumption.
Leading theorists and critics map this new terrain, ranging across
high theory and popular culture - from E-Bay auctions to smart
homes, from the everyday consumption of MP3 files and DVDs to the
rituals of media violence, from internet-surfing to the role of
speed in contemporary culture.
