Description

Cell Tower by Steven E. Jones is an Object Lessons book that explores the often-overlooked structures that underpin our modern world. These towering communications equipment, encased in steel latticework and topped with antennas, stand as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. Their ubiquity belies their often-hidden locations, chosen for security reasons. Yet it is precisely this invisibility that fuels our fascination with the network they serve. This book invites us to consider the cell tower's role in shaping our perceptions of connectivity and community. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Cell Tower offers a unique perspective on the intersections of technology, culture, and society.
