Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As digital media technologies emerge from new, globally dispersed locations, a multipolar order of communication innovation seems to be in the making. Yet recovering our ability to imagine futures otherwise requires negotiating conditions--economic, geopolitical, sociocultural, and ecological--rather than reproducing them under the pretext of breaking with the present. The essays in this volume research such conditions critically and comparatively in a variety of geographies. Paying due attention to China's rise as an innovative platform society and AI powerhouse, this book addresses the broader question of a shifting world order and trends that are shaped by China's influence but extend beyond its borders.
