Living in Digital Worlds investigates the relationship between human society and technology, as our private and particularly our public lives are increasingly undertaken in spaces that are inherently digital: digital public spaces. The book unpicks why digital technology is such an inextricable part of modern society, first by examining the historical relationship between technological development and the early progression of human sociality. This is then followed by an examination of the ways in which modern life is currently being impacted by the expansion of digital information and devices into multiple aspects of our lives, including focuses on privacy, bias and ownership in digital spaces. Finally, it explores potential future developments and their implications, and proposes that it is crucial to consider the design of technology and systems in order to support a positive and beneficial direction of change. Each chapter includes case studies, primarily drawn from The Creative Exchange, a fiveyear programme which ran from 2012 to 2016 to explore the notion of the digital public space through collaborative cross-sector research.

Naomi Jacobs went to sleep one night in 2008 as a 32-year-old mother, and woke up the next morning believing she was a fifteen-year-old school girl. She did not recognise the house she woke up in, though it was hers, nor her ten-year-old son, Leo. As far as she was concerned, she was in 1992 when John Major was Prime Minister, before the world had been blessed with mobile phones, DVDs or reality TV. She didn't know it, but she had dissociative amnesia.With the help of her personal diaries and those close to her, Naomi set about piecing together as much as she could of her missing years. What she discovered shocked her. As she dug deeper, she began to experience disturbing flashbacks of traumatic events. Would Naomi ever find her way back to the person she once was? Did she even want to?Funny and moving, Forgotten Girl is ultimately an inspiring story of loss and redemption, and the power of second chances.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.Fandom studies and design are both relatively young disciplines both of which are familiar with interdisciplinarity, and with co-production and participation. Using contexts such as technology, sustainability and urban space, Bridging Design and Fandom brings together Fan Studies and Design Research to explore the many ways these two fields overlap.Divided into thematic sections, this edited collection focuses on pressing current challenge areas that both fan studies and design can speak to including affordances and platforms, digital fan design, entrepreneurship and consumerism, sustainability, and tourism and urban space. Showcasing the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and how these fields can fruitfully interconnect to create new knowledge and outcomes, contributors with expertise from a wide range of inter and multidisciplinary backgrounds consider both new technologies and traditional practices, giving a holistic overview of how tangible physical practice and intangible digital contexts, theories and infrastructures can both form a part of design in this space of fan research. The collection explores design challenges such as how platform infrastructure underpins much of the modern media landscape in which fans operate, and emerging areas for fan studies such as considering the environmental impacts and sustainability of fan activities, which intersect with major areas of current design research focus.Readers of this book may come from design research backgrounds, fan studies backgrounds or range of related social science disciplines such as sociology and media and communications. It is unique new reference point as an introduction to new methods and approaches and an opening to new areas for exploration and research with the power of interdisciplinary endeavour at its core.
