Recenzje

"A book rich with insights on the inexorable relationship between time, technology and power. Kitchin maps the unevenness of time in digital culture while he also reveals the inequitable unevenness, and a possible way out, of the types of time that continue to dominate the study of time."--Sarah Sharma, University of Toronto"A much-needed book that updates and rethinks the time-technology nexus. Rob Kitchin provides an eloquent and accessible theory of time from the perspective of human geography. It was about time; we have been waiting far too long."--Anne Kaun, Professor in Media and Communication Studies, Department for Media and Communication Studies, School of Culture and Education
