Table of contents
Overall, Edited Clean Version is provocative, timely and well-written. Furthermore, the argument of Edited Clean Version is compelling enough to suggest that the shift in censorial practices Guins theorises will continue to hold if not intensify in coming years, regardless of the longevity of the V-ship or of any of the specific technologies he addresses. Guins provides a compelling look at the evolving institution of censorship.
It is a wonderfully engaging, highly readable, and theoretically rich study that is both rigorously argued and accessible. Edited Clean Version presents a compelling argument about the spread of control technologies into our homes and suggests the importance of this issue to everyone, not just the people who turn on their V-Chips.
Overt censorship involves a battle for freedom of speech that most people think has been won. Subtle censorship may be more sinister. If Guins is correct, devices that we permit in our own homes may have a greater effect on ourselves and our neighbours, precisely because they involve technology that we falsely believe to be under our control. At times dense but elegantly written, I am so tempted to say that this is the direction where media studies should be going if it did not sound a bit too grand suitable for a blurb at the back cover perhaps!
Choice, self-regulation, security and other characteristics that make us desire to see less.

Not long ago it would have been an absurd idea to purchase a television, CD or MP3 or DVD player, computer software, or game console with the intention of limiting its capabilities. TVs equipped with V-chips, Internet filters, editing DVD players, clean-version CDs and MP3s, and game consoles with parental control features can block out, monitor, disable, and filter information.
As Guins argues in this provocative book, consumers now find themselves in new relationships with their everyday media in which they inscribe their viewing, listening, and playing experiences with self-prescribed and technologically enabled values and morals.
Edited Clean Version
Censorial practices are not so much enacted on media by regulatory bodies today as they are in our media technology. Repositioned within a discourse of empowerment, security, and choice, the action of regulation, he reveals, has been relocated into the hands of users.

However, as Raiford Guins demonstrates in Edited Clean Version, today's media technology is marketed and sold for what it does not contain and what it will not deliver. According to Guins, these new "control technologies" are designed to embody an ethos of neoliberal governance - through the very media that have been previously presumed to warrant management, legislation, and policing.
