Fallon, Kris Where Truth Lies: Digital Culture and Documentary Media after 9/11 Oakland: University of California Press, 2010, 248 pp., 28 b/w images: ISBN: 9780520300934 A surfeit of digital imagery in recent years has altered how we access truth. Fallon unravels a clearer political moral from the "documentary tendency" at play in the Second Life's I Gone Gitmo i , in chapter four, though this reflection on digitally simulated violence is fairly laborious. This account of an emergent social form shies away from any deeper sociological or industrial framing - Fallon does not offer distribution figures associated with these fledgling practices or attempt audience studies analysis of I Brave New Films i documentaries.
