We now expect to be able to instantly source a vast array of information at any time and from anywhere, as well as buy goods with the click of a button and have them delivered within hours, while time management apps and locative media have altered how everyday scheduling and mobility unfolds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDigital Timescapes\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case that we have transitioned to an era where the production and experience of time is qualitatively different to the pre-digital era. Rob Kitchin provides a synoptic account of this transition, charting how digital technologies, in a wide range of manifestations, are reconfiguring everyday temporalities. Attention is focused on the temporalities associated with six sets of everyday practices: history and memory; politics and policy; governance and governmentality; mobility and logistics; planning and development; and work and labour. Critically, how to challenge and reorder digitally mediated temporal power is examined through the development of an ethics of temporal care and temporal justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConceptually and empirically rich, \u003ci\u003eDigital Timescapes\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential guide to our new temporal regime.
