ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the concept of post-digital as a critical reaction to digital practices,such as use of Internet-connected devices in everyday settings. The idea of post-digital is exemplified by an examination of the Reddit virtual community,‘/r/nosurf’,where reducing online screen-time is discussed. The chapter argues that these types of communities demonstrate negotiation of control and the redistribution of human agency,among current prevailing ongoing automation practices,and the need for increased technological transparency in everyday as well as in organisational life. The chapter provides an overview of the concept of post-digital that positions it as a theoretical concept for future scholarly work and demonstrates its applicability to ongoing explorations of the evolving relationship between humans and our digital devices.
