by William J. Mitchell
Entertaining, concise, and relentlessly probing, City of Bits offers a comprehensive introduction to a new type of city, an increasingly important system of virtual spaces interconnected by the information superhighway. "The digital realm has at last the writer it deserves".--Andrew Leonard, The Nation. 16 illustrations.
First line
As the fin-de-K countdown cranked into the nineties, I became increasingly curious about the technicians I saw poking about in manholes.
From the rear cover
Entertaining, concise, and relentlessly probing, City of Bits is a comprehensive introduction to a new type of city, an increasingly important system of virtual spaces interconnected by the information superhighway. William Mitchell makes extensive use of practical examples and illustrations in a technically well-grounded yet accessible examination of architecture and urbanism in the context of the digital telecommunication revolution, the ongoing miniaturization of electronics, the commodification of bits, and the growing domination of software over materialized form.
