"An exhaustively researched study of how teens use technology . . . and a manifesto on how parents as individuals and society as a whole let young people down when they insist on protection and paternalism over media literacy and critical thinking. Even readers who are not parents, or teens, may well find this one of the most interesting books of the year."—Amy Benfer, Los Angeles Times
"Boyd's new book is layered and smart. To parents or educators who think social media is dangerous, Boyd argues that there is no reason to believe 'digital celibacy' will help teenagers become smarter, happier, or healthier. 'It's Complicated' will update your mind." - Alyssa Quart, New York Times
"A passionate, scholarly, and vividly described account of the reality of young peoples' use of networked technologies in America today. Painstakingly researched through interviews and close study for more than a decade, boyd's book is the most important analysis of networked culture I've yet to read."—Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing
