The Internet of Animals

"Deborah Lupton is a brilliant guide to animal–human–digital assemblages."Bill Adams, University of Cambridge"Lupton takes us on a fascinating journey into the past and the future to help us grapple with our intimate relations with animals. We are confronted with how the digital mediates our emotional need to care for and control the creatures that we have come to see as extensions of ourselves."Payal Arora, Erasmus University, and author of The Next Billion Users "Lupton asks: 'How are human-animal relationships changing?' and 'How are digital media and devices contributing to this change?'. Her wide-ranging exploration broaches many insightful responses to this question, with a useful attention to both pros and cons, though an inevitable weighting toward more regrettable and insidious ramifications."Randy Malamud, Journal of Animal Ethics
