Book review: Jason Farman, Delayed response: The art of waiting from the ancient to the instant world

Most remarkable is probably the chapter on death. Karppi shows how Facebook accumulates data and thereby monetizes its users even after they passed away. Their accounts become memorialized accounts, which can be seen as a technique to translate disconnection into new linkages, in which the deceased is the factor that brings a minable public together. Disconnect is a fascinating read for all who are interested in the nitty-gritty of how SNS such as Facebook keep us hooked and lure data out of us, and for people who more generally are interested in disconnection and materialist/affect theory approaches to social media studies.
