"The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net Locality and the
profound effect on individuals and societies when everything is located or locatable.
Describes net locality as an emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects
of digital media, from mobile phones to online maps to location-based social networks
and games. Warns of the dangers that these technologies can present while also outlining
the opportunities and the potential for pro-social developments. Provides a theory
of the web, not just mobile devices." ; "The web is all around us. The use of mobile
phones and location-aware technologies and the ability for people to browse information
from wherever they may be, means that physical location has become an important factor
in how data is categorized and accessed. This book provides an introduction to the
new theory of Net Locality, an emerging form of location awareness, a concept becoming
central to cultural production and everyday life. Net locality is crucial to all aspects
of digital media, from mobile phones to online maps to location-based social networks
and games. This book describes what happens to individuals and societies when virtually
everything is located or locatable and what they can do with this awareness, from
organizing impromptu political protests to finding nearby friends and resources. It
also covers the dangers these technologies and practices present, from challenging
traditional notions of privacy to the reorganization of urban public space, whilst
outlining the opportunities and the potential for pro-social developments"
