| Synopsis: |
We have entered into a new fitness boom characterized by interactive and customizable technology, from active video games such as Wii Fit to fitness apps and `wearables'. This is the first book to examine these developments through a critical scholarly lens. It argues that human-technology relationships in fitness are now qualitatively different, requiring the consumption and production of information, a shift to `prosumption' and interactivity. It examines the origins of these trends and implications for wider society, with the new tech rewarding some individuals and groups over others. A fascinating blend of physical cultural studies, science and technology studies and governmentality. |
