Everyone says the Internet is changing our lives, but no one knows how or
why. Until now, that is. In Telecommunications and the City (Routledge,
£15.99, ISBN 0 415 11903 0), Stephen Graham and Simon Marvin have
collected a wealth of valuable data about the social and physical changes
communications technologies bring in their wake. The two authors are lecturers
at the Centre for Urban Technology at the University of Newcastle, so they know
what they are talking about.
