Abstract "Focusing on the specific gestures, habits, and embodied practices that converge around boredom in a digital network culture, Entertained or Else considers how boredom has been instrumentalised as an important site of discipline and power in the twenty-first century. Through investigating modern digital entertainment and historical literature, this book identifies a range of cultural techniques that have been developed for codifying, classifying, sensing and pre-empting boredom, with the aim of driving bored subjects back to entertainment networks"-- Provided by publisher.
