Description
Code/Space: Software and Everyday Life examines how computer code shapes our world by creating new spatialities in everyday life. From digital alarm clocks to air traffic control systems, software is increasingly woven into the fabric of our lives.
The authors argue that software transduces space, transforming social and economic relations, and offering new forms of cultural activity and personal empowerment. This book provides a set of conceptual tools for understanding the interrelationship between software, space, and everyday life, illustrated with rich empirical material.
Rob Kitchin and Martin Dodge issue a call for critical scholarship into the production and workings of code, proposing a new kind of social science focused on explaining the social, economic, and spatial contours of software.
