Design, Control, Predict presents smart urbanism as both a logistical node and network. Where global flows of data and capital merge with widespread movements toward austerity and surveillance: there we find smart cities emerging on nearly every continent. Yet as Aaron Shapiro's illuminating ethnographic research demonstrates, each node in that global assemblage is itself a logistical network within which algorithms orchestrate the circulation of bodies and bicycles, carceral logics and cybernetic imaginaries. --Shannon Mattern, author of Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media
