Social media, smartphones, mobile apps and digital retailing merge with traditional consumption spheres, supported by digital devices which further encourage consumers to communicate and influence other consumers to consume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a wide range of empirical studies which analyse the impact of digital devices, this volume explores the digitization of consumption and shows how consumer culture and consumption practices are fundamentally intertwined and mediated by digital devices. Exploring the development of new consumer cultures, leading international scholars from sociology, marketing and ethnology examine the effects on practices of consumption and marketing, through topics including big data, digital traces, streaming services, wearables, and social mediaâs impact on ethical consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy following traces, practices and ‘devicification’, the chapters of this edited collection take us through the profound transformations that characterise contemporary digital consumption. Digital consumers are now not more or less than their devices. Consumers, devices, data, infrastructures and algorithms form composites with consequence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Neyland, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths, UK.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a terrific collection that takes the dynamic, material \u003ci\u003eprocesses\u003c\/i\u003e of digitalization, rather than ‘the digital’ as its departure point. As a result, the authors are able to expose the rhythms, traces and consequences of digitalization on consumption, and on social life more broadly. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to move beyond the hype to understand how digitalization is working through infrastructures that artfully combine the enterprises of consumers and professionals to monitor and frame consumption. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiz McFall, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the Open University, UK.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digitalization of consumption is an important field of research that, so far, has not been adequately explored.
