Editorial Reviews
Review
A wide-ranging and provocative collection, serving as an exemplary companion to The City Reader.
–Future Survey 27:2, February 2005
In gathering together classic and contemporary papers, this volume reveals urban landscapes as simultaneously reflective and constitutive of the digital world, illustrates the powerful ways in which cyberspace is shot through with social categories of class, power, gender, and ethnicity, and renders obsolete artificial dualisms such as on-line and off-line.
–Barney Warf, Florida State University
Steve Graham is one of the world's leading scholars of the cybercities phenomenon. He has gathered here over 60 of the most inspiring and stimulating contributions to thinking on the subject. The book is a delight to study, to dip into, and to think about. A bumper book on a bumper subject!.
–Frank Webster, City University London
With a wide and impressive array of authors and topics, this is the most comprehensive set of readings yet produced on the uses and impacts of digital communications in the urban environment. Together, the readings demonstrate how much of the literature to date on the virtual life has been heavily trapped in fantasy, idealism, and mythology, against which this book provides alternative ways of thinking about telematics and the city.
–Gerald Sussman, Portland State University
Product Description
