This is an impressive and very useful book. It is impressive in drawing on a wide range of relevant ideas (on history, society, culture, technology) to tease out the ways in which we can validly speak about the cultural aspects of digital information.

For this reviewer Tredinnick's text is the first to cover all the bases in exploring the pervasive cultural change that we have experienced through the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Tredinnick contextualises cultural change and digital technologies in a way that many authors writing on the same subject do not. His knowledge of transdisciplinary theory (across literary criticism, cultural studies, media and communications, information science) provides a holistic perspective on digital culture which offers real insight. Drawing on the legacy of literary criticism and cultural theory embeds Tredinnick's analysis in a broad historical context, which avoids the techno-euphoria of many authors on digital technology.
