About this product
Product Information
Facebook has fundamentally changed how the world connects. No other company has played a greater role in the history of social networking online. Yet Facebook is no longer simply a social networking site or social media platform. Facebook is Facebook. Taina Bucher shows how Facebook has become an idea of its own: something that cannot be fully described using broader categories. Facebook has become so commonplace that most people have a conception of what it is, yet it increasingly defies categorization. If we want to understand Facebook's power in contemporary society and culture, Bucher argues, we need to start by challenging our widespread conception of what Facebook is. Tracing the development and evolution of Facebook as a social networking site, platform, infrastructure and advertising company, she invites readers to consider Facebook anew. Contrary to the belief that nobody uses Facebook anymore, Facebook has never been more powerful. This timely book is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as anyone seeking to understand the Facebook phenomenon.

Reviews
'Taina Bucher has authored the best book to date in the rapidly growing literature on Facebook. It has rigorous analysis, theoretical nuance and sweeping empirical scope. It sets the standard for accounts of the platform and should be required reading for researchers and journalists grappling with what Facebook means for political, social and cultural life around the world.' Daniel Kreiss, University of North Carolina 'Taina Bucher is one of the best analysts of social media platforms we've got. Here, she insightfully focuses on Facebook from many complementary angles that together reveal how it has become an ever-present infrastructure in the feel of daily life, shaping our social and political worlds, whether we use it or not.' Nancy Baym, Microsoft Research 'While...a book of this kind can only ever be a partial and unfolding guide, the breadth and depth of its scope is impressive. ... Bucher makes an important philosophical and theoretical contribution to media and communication studies as the book destabalizes conventional narratives of Facebook as a mere social media platform.' Australian Journalism Review, "Professor Bucher has authored the best book in the rapidly growing literature on Facebook. This is the most rigorous analysis of Facebook to-date in its theoretical nuance and sweeping empirical scope. It sets the standard for accounts of the platform and should be required reading for researchers and journalists grappling with what Facebook means for political, social, and cultural life around the world."
