Digital technologies are revolutionizing the way individuals, households, and organizations experience time. We now expect to have instant access to a vast array of information from anywhere, purchase goods with a single click, and have them delivered within hours. Time management apps and locative media have transformed our daily scheduling and mobility.
In his book "Digital Timescapes," Rob Kitchin argues that we have entered a new era where the production and experience of time are qualitatively different from the pre-digital era. He provides a comprehensive account of how digital technologies are reconfiguring our everyday temporalities across six sets of practices: history and memory, politics and policy, governance and governmentality, mobility and logistics, planning and development, and work and labor.
The book critically examines how to challenge and reorder digitally mediated temporal power through the development of an ethics of temporal care and temporal justice. It offers a rich conceptual and empirical framework that will be of interest to students and scholars in Media Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Human Geography, and History and Memory Studies. Moreover, it sheds light on how digital technologies are transforming society and shaping our future.
In conclusion, "Digital Timescapes" is an essential guide to our new temporal regime. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which digital technologies are shaping our experiences of time and offers practical strategies for navigating this changing landscape. Whether you are a student, scholar, or simply interested in the impact of technology on society, this book is a must-read.
