`As the Internet revolution continues to reverberate through the global economy and daily life, urban life has become progressively more constituted around digital transactions. Kellerman has long been one of the most astute observers of this transformation. This volume not only covers the basics of how cyberspace has become woven into the contemporary world, such as cell phones and digital divides, it also breaks new ground by addressing topics that have received scant attention, such as autonomous vehicles. It offers a fecund series of insights into how people, firms, and places have been restructured by the ever-growing use of digital technologies. This volume will be useful to students and faculty alike, and of interest to anyone interested in how cyberspace and the analogue world have become shot through with each other.' -- Barney Warf, University of Kansas, US `Computer networks and autonomous technologies continue to rapidly redefine the geography of the city. Kellerman has spent a lifetime reflecting on what this might mean and his recent book presents one of the most insightful pictures of this future to date. Essential reading for all those interested in how our future cities will be organized.' -- Michael Batty, University College London, UK

'This is a fascinating book which opens to the reader a wide view of the Internet development, applications and potential impacts on urbanities.' -- Eran Ben-Elia, Geography Research Forum <>'Those looking for an introduction to the impacts of the Internet on society and within cities will find the book useful. Kellerman has provided a public service in marshalling the basic historical and contemporary data about how the Internet has become embedded in our lives in multiple ways, and in showing us in an organized fashion some of the main concerns about how AVs may change cities.' -- Daniel G Chatman, Journal of Urban Technology 'For more than 30 years Aharon Kellerman has chronicled the spatial implications of evolving communications and internet technologies culminating in his current volume The Internet City. . . The book is accessible to a wide audience and would find a place in undergraduate and graduate courses on information geography or urban planning, as well as be useful for urban planners, city managers and policy makers.' -- Mark Wilson, Urban Analytics and City Science 'As the internet revolution continues to reverberate through the global economy and daily life, urban life has become progressively more constituted around digital transactions.
