Required reading for anyone interested in the profound relationship between digital technology and society Digital technology has become an undeniable facet of our social lives, defining our governments, communities, and personal identities. Yet with these technologies in ongoing evolution, it is difficult to gauge the full extent of their societal impact, leaving researchers and policy makers with the challenge of staying up-to-date on a field that is constantly in flux. The Oxford Handbook of Digital Technology and Society provides students, researchers, and practitioners across the technology and social science sectors with a comprehensive overview of the foundations for understanding the various relationships between digital technology and society. Combining robust computer-aided reviews of current literature from the UK Economic and Social Research Council's commissioned project "Ways of Being in a Digital Age" with newly commissioned chapters, this handbook illustrates the upcoming research questions and challenges facing the social sciences as they address the societal impacts of digital media and technologies across seven broad categories: citizenship and politics, communities and identities, communication and relationships, health and well-being, economy and sustainability, data and representation, and governance and security. Individual chapters feature important practical and ethical explorations into topics such as technology and the aging, digital literacies, work-home boundary, machines in the workforce, digital censorship and surveillance, big data governance and regulation, and technology in the public sector. The Oxford Handbook of Digital Technology and Society will equip readers with the necessary starting points and provocations in the field so that scholars and policy makers can effectively assess future research, practice, and policy.

对数字技术和社会之间的深刻关系感兴趣的人的必读书目 数字技术已经成为我们社会生活的一个不可否认的方面，定义了我们的政府、社区和个人身份。然而，随着这些技术的不断发展，很难衡量其社会影响的全面程度，使研究人员和政策制定者面临着在一个不断变化的领域中保持最新的挑战。牛津数字技术与社会手册》为技术和社会科学领域的学生、研究人员和从业人员提供了理解数字技术与社会之间各种关系的基础的全面概述。本手册结合了英国经济和社会研究委员会委托项目 "数字时代的存在方式 "对当前文献进行的有力的计算机辅助审查，说明了社会科学在处理数字媒体和技术的社会影响时即将面临的研究问题和挑战，涉及七个大类：公民权和政治、社区和身份、沟通和关系、健康和福祉、经济和可持续性、数据和代表以及治理和安全。个别章节对技术与老龄化、数字扫盲、工作与家庭的界限、劳动力中的机器、数字审查和监控、大数据治理和监管以及公共部门的技术等主题进行了重要的实践和道德探索。牛津数字技术与社会手册》将为读者提供该领域的必要起点和挑衅，以便学者和政策制定者能够有效评估未来的研究、实践和政策。
