How can we achieve digital justice in the age of COVID-19?

This book explores how the pandemic has transformed our use and perception of digital technologies in various settings. It also examines the right to resist or reject these technologies and the politics of refusal in different contexts and scenarios.

The book offers a timely and original analysis of the new realities and challenges of digital technologies, paving the way for a post-COVID-19 future.

"This absorbing collection covers the many complexities and nuances involved in 'switching off' from digital media and devices in the pandemic age." Deborah Lupton, University of New South Wales
"This book takes a broader perspective on the political economy of digitality, culture, legal frameworks, and everyday actions, challenging the Western-centric approach and aiming to provide a more inclusive understanding of digital disengagement." Mutlu Binark, Hacettepe University
