Reviews

I consider this book the most insightful discussion of place and technology I have encountered over the past twenty years of thinking about place and its role in modern society... I think that it will create an intellectual stir and give a significant boost to scholarship bringing together social science and the design professions. John Agnew, Professor and Chair of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles
