Overview

The mobile phone is one of the wonders of the modern world. This vibrant, popular history tells the story of the mobile, what happened and why. This edition features a new preface updating the story in the light of the much-trumped 3G Revolution. Constant Touch is an eccentric, eclectic little book, but all the more welcome for it. It is full of thrilling vignettes, showing how mobile phones have quietly folded their way into the social fabric and our sense of personal identity Agar is technologically literate, fully engaged with the possibilities of mobile communication, and full of genuine wonderment about how the mobile phone could become such a small object of desire - and such a locus for so many anxieties.
