I am selecting It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens because it is
the most popular book with the best ratings and best reviews. The book seems
interesting and informative about the global network society. It is also a good
length.

Jacob, I definitely think that your book choice sounds interesting as I know that my life certainly has major influences from social media and networking. I wonder how your book will present the issue in the "overconnected" society, and Van Dijk's example of the Global Network Society being unstable. Great find!
