For by developing this collection, Hassan and Purserand the essays' authorshave made an important contribution to understanding both time and life in the early 21st century." Allen C. Bluedorn, author of The Human Organization of Time: Temporal Realities and Experience, University of Missouri-Columbia "The authors gathered here are among the leading theorists of the new shift in dimensional thought. Original, provocative, and sophisticated, their arguments will have a profound impact on social theorists and the emerging generation of digital scholars."
