About the Book

Since the rise of the smartphone, apps have become entrenched in billions of users' daily lives. Accessible across phones and tablets, watches and wearables, connected cars, sensors, and cities, they are an inescapable feature of our current culture. In this book, Gerard Goggin provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the development of apps as a digital media technology. Covering the technological, social, cultural, and policy dynamics of apps, Goggin ultimately considers what a post-app world might look like. He argues that apps represent a pivowtal moment in the development of digital media, acting as a hinge between the visions and realities of the “mobile,” “cyber,” and “online” societies envisaged since the late 1980s and the imaginaries and materialities of the digital societies that emerged from 2010. Apps offer frames, construct tools, and constitute “small worlds” for users to reorient themselves in digital media settings. This fascinating book will reframe the conversation about the software that underwrites our digital worlds. It is essential reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as for anyone interested in this ubiquitous technology.

Review :
“Apps is the definitive book for anyone who wants to know about mobile apps. International expert Goggin guides us through the complex and contested histories and evolutions of mobile apps. This is the first book to take seriously the role of mobile apps across social, cultural, economic, and political terrain by providing a systematic overview of mobile apps as interwoven in the many facets of our lives.” Larissa Hjorth, RMIT University “We all use apps, but what are they? In this technologically expert, economically smart overview, Gerard Goggin, a leading global expert on mobile phones, offers a timely assessment of the creative, social, and extractive work that apps do while we use them.” Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science “Apps offers a broad view of apps as tools, communication media, and social laboratories, giving enough historical context to help readers understand how apps developed out of and fit into the context of other information communication technologies. This book would serve as a useful starting point for students, scholars, and members of the general public (presumably app users) interested in studying apps and looking for a map of the general landscape of the field of study.” International Journal of Communication
