This postmodern ethnography refreshingly moves the discourse of mobile technology beyond dystopian hype and into the realities of everyday experiences. Soukup takes us through our looking glasses on a flaneur's journey of discovery phrased in terms that make it almost easy to see the truths and quirks of what iOS does, and how it affects our world. I'm looking forward to my students' classroom discussions after assigning this reading! -- Grant Kien Rather than offering the standard lament about our growing dependence on screens, large and small, and increasingly ubiquitous, Charles Soukup has constructed a thoughtful, nuanced, and thoroughly readable exploration of the emerging logic of our mediated lives that critiques, yes, but also appreciates the logic of screen culture. A worthy addition to any media scholar's library, Exploring Screen Culture via Apple's Mobile Devices is especially valuable for its personal, accessible, and engaging prose that deserves the widest possible audience. -- Andrew F. Wood, San Jose State University For every reader willing to be honest with him/herself, Soukup's thoughtful argument exposes the peril in our modern tendency toward the mindless use of digital technology. -- Matt Barton, Southern Utah University
