"Ellen Helsper goes beyond questions of digital divides and who's connected or not. She asks why and how social and digital inequalities are linked, as she reveals the tangible outcomes of socio-digital inequalities to everyday lives in an expert exploration of contemporary theory, research and practice in socio-digital inequalities. She makes an urgent call to broaden our horizons, to expand our theoretical and methodological toolkits, and work collectively to achieve a fairer digital future for all." (Publisher)
