Hyperconnectivity and Its Discontents

A brilliant synthesis in which Rogers Brubaker charts the social consequences of a world in which everyone and everything are connected to everyone and everything else, everywhere and all the time.

Tailor-made for teaching!

What are people's favorite papers on digital gift economies?

Currently have Fourcade & Kluttz's "A Maussian Bargain" - would love to assign this alongside a more ethnographic piece, or a different context for thinking of digital gifts.

Does anyone have good suggestions for readings that make a connection of cybernetics and/or early computing with social media? I.e. the development of the sociotechnical foundations for "big data" today?

Currently using a chapter from Hayles's "How we became posthuman" around the defining of "information" but something that makes the connections more explicitly would be useful.
