The Cybercities Reader by Steve Graham
Bringing together a vast range of debates and examples of city changes based on Information and Communications Technology (ICT), this book illustrates how new media in cities shapes societies, economies and cultures.
"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
'Overall this book is a nice addition to one's library... For a new researcher there are many authors and many topics assembled in one book, so one gets a broad introduction to a range of topics.' - New Media and Society
