The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net
Locality and the profound effect on individuals and societies when
everything is located or locatable. Describes net locality as an
emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects of
digital media, from mobile phones, to Google Maps, to
location-based social networks and games, such as Foursquare and
facebook. Warns of the threats these technologies, such as data
surveillance, present to our sense of privacy, while also outlining
the opportunities for pro-social developments. Provides a theory of
the web in the context of the history of emerging technologies,
from GeoCities to GPS, Wi-Fi, Wiki Me, and Google Android.
