This volume offers a critical, philosophical and epistemological framework to understand better our relations to technology and social space.

John MacGregor Wise: focuses on the burgeoning technological assemblage of communication and information characterized by the Internet and cyberspace; draws on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and the actor-network sociology of Latour; and brings together diverse examples from cyborg films, television, museums, cyberspace and debates over a new world information and communication order. In the last chapter, the possibilities and limitations of human agency within the new wired world are described.

Technology is essential to driving the city and its function, social life, and other pertinent life aspects. Digital and big data are governing agents with which we can reach a sustainable condition of ageing and contemporary and new emerging cities. This book is a snapshot of how to research the connection between emerging technology and city functions.

The author uses Deleuze and Guattari concepts to analyze space and technology. Also, concepts as cyborg and cyborg human relation are explored. A fascinating approach to technology and human positionality within this technological space
