Description

John Thackara:

"As described in her introduction by Jorinde Seidl, the book is about “the search for an alternative lifestyle that is no longer dominated by speed and continuous mobility”.

Essays in the book, which is edited by Eric Kluitenberg, and include an interview with the social geographer David Harvey, describe the ways that advanced communications technologies are enabling an increase in physical and motorized mobility for some people and commodities — but that these accelerating flows stand in sharp contrast to the experience of a growing proportion of the world's underclasses. For them, harsher border regimes, surveillance and identity control are being intensified at a rapid pace."
