Digital technologies are having a profound effect on the
temporalities of individuals, households and organisations. We now
expect to be able to instantly source a vast array of information
at any time and from anywhere, as well as buy goods with the click
of a button and have them delivered within hours, while time
management apps and locative media have altered how everyday
scheduling and mobility unfolds. Digital Timescapes makes the case
that we have transitioned to an era where the production and
experience of time is qualitatively different to the pre-digital
era. Rob Kitchin provides a synoptic account of this transition,
charting how digital technologies, in a wide range of
manifestations, are reconfiguring everyday temporalities. Attention
is focused on the temporalities associated with six sets of
everyday practices: history and memory; politics and policy;
governance and governmentality; mobility and logistics; planning
and development; and work and labour. Critically, how to challenge
and reorder digitally mediated temporal power is examined through
the development of an ethics of temporal care and temporal justice.
Conceptually and empirically rich, Digital Timescapes is an
essential guide to our new temporal regime. It will be of interest
to students and scholars of Media Studies, Science and Technology
Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Human Geography, and History and
Memory Studies, as well as those who are interested in how digital
technologies are transforming society.
