Once upon a time, in a golden age before the internet, social media, and smartphones, there existed an analogue world where people lived slower, simpler, and healthier lives that were more authentic, natural, and meaningful. This is the analogue idyll: a compelling narrative within contemporary culture celebrating the virtues of analogue media and offline experiences.Exploring the significance of the ‘analogue’ in our increasingly digital world, this timely contribution to studies about digital disconnection raises critical questions about the meaning of technology in our lives and societies, as public debates about the addictions, distractions, and harms of digital culture accelerate.Chapters 1 and 6 are available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Unpacking the affective toll of constant connectivity, this book reframes digital exhaustion as a defining experience of our times. Overflowing inboxes. Back-to-back Zoom meetings. Nonstop notifications. Daily life in digital culture can be exhausting. This timely and urgent edited collection introduces ‘digital exhaustion’ as a conceptual lens to critically examine the ever-expanding presence of digital technologies in our personal and professional lives. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, this book explores how digital exhaustion is experienced, felt, and articulated in our hyper-connected culture – through burnout, brain rot, binge-watching, data extraction, energy consumption, and social media compulsion. Digital exhaustion emerges as a key structure of feeling in an era of constant connectivity and algorithmic demands. Accessible yet theoretically grounded, this collection is an essential resource for scholars in cultural and technology studies, while also speaking to broader debates in anthropology, psychology, digital geography, urban studies, and consumer research. Responsive to the urgent need to engage in sustained dialogue about digital futures, this book offers fresh insights into how we might understand – and rethink – digital wellbeing, social media addiction, and the growing demand for a right to disconnect.

This groundbreaking open access collection of over twenty-five keyword entries from leading scholars in the emerging field of critical outer space studies offers stimulating interdisciplinary conversations about humanity’s relationship with the cosmos.National and commercial space activity has reached a level of political, economic, and cultural relevance unknown since the height of the Cold War. From the launching of satellite mega-constellations and efforts to deflect Earth-threatening asteroids, to projects to settle Mars and return to the moon, the hype, imaginaries, and investments now clustering around space activity raise urgent questions about how outer space relates to larger systems of power. Who has the right to explore and settle space? What histories of colonialism and capitalism shape current space ambitions? In what ways do space exploration projects reflect and reproduce Earth-bound inequalities? How might alternative, more just and environmentally sustainable futures in space be imagined?Outer space has long generated radical reimaginings and reconceptualisations of humanity and its futures. Taking inspiration from the weird and generative possibilities of outer space, this collection offers new forms of theory and analysis for examining the varied ways we relate to space. A key resource in this exciting and vibrant new area of critical enquiry, this collection is an essential read for those seeking to better understand the social, cultural, and political impacts of the accelerating transformation of outer space into a site of economic ambition, geopolitical contestation, and environmental concern.
