"Cupples and Glynn have accomplished an eye-opening book for both media scholars and human geographers. Vividly written and empirically rich, it helps us understand not just the general power of transmedia events, but also how the convergence of old and new media empowers new cultures of resistance in decolonizing parts of the world.”- André Jansson (author of Rethinking Communication Geographies: Geomedia and the Human Condition)
