Thatcher and Dalton propose a radical rethinking of the history, present and future of our relations with the digital, spatial technologies that increasingly mediate our everyday lives. From smartphones, to surveillance cameras, to navigational satellites, these new technologies offer visions of integrated, smooth, and efficient societies, but these visions can conflict with the ways users previously experienced the world. Recognizing the potential for both control and liberation, the authors argue against both acquiescence to and rejection of these technologies. Through intentional use of the very systems that monitor them, activists from Minneapolis to Hong Kong are subverting, resisting, and repurposing technologies. Using examples as varied as writings on the first telephones to the experiences of a feminist collective for migrant women in Spain, the authors present a revolution of everyday technologies. In the face of the seemingly inevitable dominance of corporate interests, these technologies allow us to create new spaces of affinity, and a new politics of change. --From publisher description.
