For the last five years I've been using Howard Rheingold's *Net Smart: How To Thrive Online* (2012). It's been great because it introduces lots of important ideas in the context of learning how to be a more informed and capable netizen. For example, how to be mindful, skeptical, and make use of the power of social networks. Five years on, though, the book is a bit dated (e.g., discussion of the del.icio.us social bookmarking site). I am thinking I should look for alternatives. I don't think I'll be able to find a single book to replace it, but I hope to find a more current reading or two (perhaps chapters from different books) that cover similar ground. I welcome recommendations! "Attention," ch=1 : multi-tasking; executive control; intention & mindfulness when online - Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, *The Distraction Addiction* (2013). Excellent, but a whole book rather than a chapter or two. "Crap detection," ch=2 : appropriate skepticism, finding credible sources, fake news "Participation power," ch=3 : participatory culture, folksonomy, playbor "Social-digital know-how," ch=4 : evolution of cooperation, Dunbar's number and scale, social dilemmas (tragedy of commons, public goods, prisoner's dilemma) "Social has a shape," ch=5 : strength of weak ties, 80/20, long tail I've put this in a Google Doc too, if you want to make a suggestion there. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hb5_jZAOSNriIOjmJGQkRyOGodeWb-XhyeUGU5iLHXY/edit?usp=sharing> Thank you for any suggestions :-)
