The first edition explored the legacy of futures-thinking in anthropology and marked the beginning of a resurgence of interest in anthropological futures. The new edition has been updated to reflect some of the outpouring of work since then, particularly in science and technology studies and in anthropological analyses of indigenous futures.
Focusing on the integration of various media platforms and social media, this book examines their impact on anthropological research and education. It delves into how these tools can enhance the understanding of cultural practices and social interactions, offering innovative approaches for anthropologists to engage with contemporary issues. By highlighting case studies and methodologies, it provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of anthropology in the digital age.
