Description:
This book locates the mobile phone not just as a symbol of lifestyle, but as a domestic technology that is very much subject to local nuances, treating the mobile phone as much as a cultural artefact as a functional technology.
Review Quotes:
'Hjorth's book is a terrific contribution to the rapidly growing field of mobile media research in Asia, and one that brings with it a much-needed analysis of gender. One would be hard pressed to find a better-informed or more engaging tour guide into this complex field.' - Kate Crawford, University of New South Wales, 2009
