«Lurking» is Joanne McNeil's essay about technology and its impact on society.
Starting from the idea of «lurking» —silent observation on the internet—, McNeil analyses how everyday life has become dependent on digital platforms and how people become «users». The essay addresses different aspects of digital culture to question the role of technology in contemporary society.
The work is subtitled «How a Person Became a User» and was recommended in 2020 by Esquire and OneZero.
It will appeal to readers looking for a critical analysis of digital platforms, internet culture and contemporary society.
