Facebook and Philosophy is an entertaining, multi-faceted exploration
of what Facebook means for us and for our relationships. With
discussions ranging from the nature of friendship and its relationship
to "friending," to the (debatable) efficacy of "online activism," this
book is the most extensive and systematic attempt to understand Facebook
yet. And with plenty of new perspectives on Twitter and Web 2.0 along
the way, this fun, thought-provoking book is a serious and significant
contribution for anyone working with social media, whether in academia,
journalism, public relations, activism, or business. Exploring
far-reaching questions -- Can our interactions on Facebook help us care
about each other more? Does Facebook signal the death of privacy, or
(perhaps worse yet) the death of our desire for privacy? -- Facebook
and Philosophy is vital reading for anyone involved in social networks
today.
