“This book helped me to grasp the multifaceted and boundary blurring nature of postdigital research and perceive the ambiguity and fluidity inherent in postdigital practices. While these issues are especially relevant for emerging researchers and those new to the postdigital perspective, I imagine that the book will also be useful for advanced scholars seeking to improve and critically reflect on their research practice.” (Katharina Poltze, Postdigital Science and Education, Vol. 6 (2), 2024)
