The first full-length study to explore, analyze, and critically engage with intimacy in a world where the digital is embedded in everyday life.

From vibey social media experiences to shared activism, access to online mental health care, and exposure to harm, the book reveals the social, political, and cultural implications of intimacy in a blurry public-private.
