Shameless Plug: The Placeless City

I'm delighted to announce the publication of my new book, Die Ortlose Stadt Oder: Die Virtualisierung Des Urbanen (The Placeless City: The Virtualization of the Urban).

Co-authored with Alain Bourdin (Université Paris VIII) and Frank Eckardt (Bauhaus-Universität Weimar), The Placeless City examines ways in which new information and communication technologies have transformed modern notions of urbanity.

This project emerged from a lunch conversation in 2012 during the “Media of the Metapolis” conference in Weimar, where Alain and I had been invited to speak on our relative approaches toward urban life. And now, thanks to Frank's expert negotiation of the German publishing world, we can share the results of that conversation with a larger community!
