Space is central to our lives. Because of this, much attention is directed at understanding and explaining the geographic world. Mapping Cyberspace extends this analysis to provide a geographic exploration and critical reading of cyberspace and information and communication technologies. Mapping Cyberspace

• provides an understanding of what cyberspace looks like and the social interactions that take place there

• explores the impacts of cyberspace, and information and communication technologies, on cultural, political and economic relations.

• charts the spatialities, spatial forms and space-time relations of virtual spaces

• details empirical research and examines a wide variety of maps and spatialisations of cyberspace and the information society

 

Mapping Cyberspace draws together the findings and theories of researchers from geography, cartography, sociology, cultural studies, computer-mediated communications, information visualisation, literary theory and cognitive psychology. It is highly illustrated with colour plates and many black and white figures.

Martin Dodge is a researcher and computer technician in the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London. Rob Kitchin is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.
