For this assignment I have picked 3 different books: Digital Labor: The Internet as Playground and Factory, Global Information Society: Technology, Knowledge and Mobility, and The Unconnected: Social Justice, Participation, and Engagement in the Information Society.
I finally came to the decision of picking the book Unconnected. It appealed to me the most out of all the book reviews and descriptions I read. I interests me because in our increasingly technological world, it's cool to hear from the people that haven't been able to catch up to the curve yet, or even just don't want to.
The decision to chose this book came down to the following:
