Table of ContentsReviews"""Broad in compass and ambitious in scope, this new look at the map in the digital age is fascinating. Duggan's journey through maps takes us to places, landscapes and times past, present and future, traversing a busy and sometimes complicated picture and engaging with theoretical views on cartography as well as the pragmatics of how maps shape our lives. All Mapped Out helps us to see maps differently, as well as understand how maps continue to influence us. Compelling and engaging, this book will appeal to cartophiles everywhere.""--Keith D. Lilley, professor of historical geography, Queen's University Belfast" """All Mapped Out is an entertaining adventure for everyone who loves maps, both real and imaginary, analogue and digital. Duggan--in this reliable guide to an unreliable technology--invites us to reexamine our assumptions about the spatial representations of not only unfamiliar places, but the sites we inhabit with meaning and call home.""--Phil Cohen, Livingmaps Network ""From travelling London in the backseat of a black taxi to following grizzly bears and migrants, rally drivers and Tube riders, geocachers and map collectors, All Mapped Out offers a provocative and surprising study of maps and mapping. In this journey, we encounter maps scratched onto rocks and materializing on plasma screens, maps made of words and sounds, and even maps meant to be seen by the eyes of self-driving cars rather than of humans. Duggan asks questions of our present reliance on digital mapping: how the technologies subtly pervade our lives, condition our consumption habits and even shape our experience of the world.""--Veronica della Dora, professor of human geography, Royal Holloway, University of London ""Broad in compass and ambitious in scope, this new look at the map in the digital age is fascinating.
