Book Title: Networked: The New Social Operating System

Author: Lee Rainie & Barry Wellman

Selection Statement:

 This may be the best book so far about the network implications of social media. It not only documents the empirical realities of human interaction that has been deeply transformed by social media, but also proposes the concept of “networked individualism,” a reference guide to understand the new social norms of our networked life in the 21st century.
