Mediated

How Media Shapes Your World and the Way You Live In It
Book • 2004
In 'Mediated,' Thomas de Zengotita argues that our reality is increasingly indistinguishable from representation.

He contends that everything in our world is mediated, meaning it is presented to us through some form of media or representation.

De Zengotita explores how this mediation affects our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions, including how we reflect on ourselves and our place in the world.

The book delves into the impact of media on our socialization, particularly in the context of children, and discusses the blurring of lines between real and representational experiences.
