About the Six AM Book Club
The Six AM Book Club is a space on this site for book reviews of science and technology studies, digital sociology and media studies related books. The reviews are aimed at a non-academic audience to attempt to explain how STS and digital sociology research is relevant and interesting to industry, the public sector and everyday life. I also try to frame the reviews within my own research or teaching activities.
I do most of my reading at 6am – hence the name, Six AM Book Club. I’m also trying to read books cover to cover in order to give the author the satisfaction of someone having read the entire book that they have painstakingly crafted to flow in a particular way.
Come for the CV info part of this site, stay for the book reviews 🙂
