Description:
Social Media Abyss plunges into the paradoxical condition of the new digital normal versus a lived state of emergency. There is a heightened, post-Snowden awareness; we know we are under surveillance but we click, share, rank and remix with a perverse indifference to technologies of capture and cultures of fear. Despite the incursion into privacy by companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon, social media use continues to be a daily habit with shrinking gadgets now an integral part of our busy lives. We are thrown between addiction anxiety and subliminal, obsessive use. Where does art, culture and criticism venture when the digital vanishes into the background?Geert Lovink strides into the frenzied social media debate with Social Media Abyss - the fifth volume of his ongoing investigation into critical internet culture. He examines the symbiotic yet problematic relation between networks and social movements, and further develops the notion of organized networks. Lovink doesn't just submit to the empty soul of 24/7 communication but rather provides the reader with radical alternatives.Selfie culture is one of many Lovink's topics, along with the internet obsession of American writer Jonathan Franzen, the internet in Uganda, the aesthetics of Anonymous and an anatomy of the Bitcoin religion. Will monetization through cybercurrencies and crowdfunding contribute to a redistribution of wealth or further widen the gap between rich and poor? In this age of the free, how a revenue model of the 99% be collectively designed? Welcome back to the Social Question.

Great lights
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness, Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
These lights are awesome. Ridiculously bright and cheap. I have nothing to compare them to but they're for being so inexpensive they are tremendously bright for being a first time installer. I cannot speak to their longevity and the moisture as I only put them on a week ago and went on trail. The whistling is definitely kind of a pain. I've tried the double sided tape people mention and it softened the whistle but when you get up to 70 mph it is obnoxiously loud I'll have to tweak it some more. If you're sensitive to loud squeezing sounds it definitely makes the ride a bit uncomfortable and I would look at other light installations instead of the 52 inch bar. If you can get past the squeeling noise or dampen the sound better than I did then you can't beat the functionality for the price

Brighten up the dark wild
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
My jeep came with a worn out set of these. In the big picture they were an easy replacement and allowed me to clean up the wiring mess in the jeep. The downside is they are terribly noisy driving down the road. They make great light in the dark wilderness. As soon as I'm ready for some paint correction they will be coming off.

Super Bright and Easy to Install!
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
The Nilight ZH023 LED Light Bar Combo is outstanding! The 52-inch bar plus the two 4-inch fog lights put out an incredible amount of light—perfect for off-road driving at night. The spot and flood combo gives great distance and wide coverage, and the wiring harness made installation simple. Everything feels durable, weatherproof, and built to last. For the price and performance, this is one of the best lighting upgrades you can get for your vehicle.

very bright
Color: 52Inch Lights +LED Pods+ Wiring Harness
It fit my 2015 f150, but I had to extend the power cable because my battery is on the passenger side, not the driver's. I also wish it came with instructions in the box rather than on the Amazon listing.
