Throughout the book, I analyse the content and use of these devices, software and media from a sociocultural
perspective, identifying implications for human–animal relationships and for generating ideas about future developments for digital technologies that have the potential to contribute to both human and nonhuman animal
flourishing across the world. I argue that the ways in which animals are portrayed, monitored and cared for
by humans using digital media and devices have significant implications for how humans and animals will live
together in the near future: including human and animal health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability
and activism, and industries related to digital technology development, animal care, animal protection, food production and consumption, smart homes and smart cities. I seek to contextualize digitized human–animal
relationships within their more-than-digital contexts, acknowledging that digital technologies are always used
in places and spaces in which other objects – both living and non-living – are present.
