Really really good, readable collection of essays about place, space and media. The essays challenged my mind, expanded my thinking about physical space and the impact/interrelationship between space and technology. For anyone wanting to deepen their understanding on any of these topics, this is a good primer. Great bibliographies for further reading are included at the end of each chapter.
