<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book is open access under a CC BY license. Selfies, blogs and lifelogging devices help us understand ourselves, building on long histories of written, visual and quantitative modes of self-representations. This book uses examples to explore the balance between using technology to see ourselves and allowing our machines to tell us who we are.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The book is a goldmine of historical and contemporary case studies with which readers are invited to visualise the complexity of self-representation practices and artefacts. ... thoroughly researched and cross-referenced to both archival and contemporary sources, the language remains clear, jargon-free, and draws readers in through narrative descriptions that are easy to visualize. ... strength of Rettberg's writing is in her highly illustrative explications through which readers are able to visualise her arguments without the aid of devices or technology." (Crystal Abidin, Mobile Media & Communication, Vol. 4 (2), May, 2016)<p></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jill Walker Rettberg is Professor of Digital Culture at the University of Bergen, Norway.
