William J. Mitchell, author of City of Bits and e-topia, discusses Me++: The Cyborg Self and the Networked City, the new and third installment in his informal trilogy. Examining the ramifications of wireless technology in everyday life, Mitchell describes our transformation to a state of intense, continuous electronic engagement.

As physical space and cyberspace become further intertwined, Mitchell investigates the effects of wireless linkage, global interconnection, miniaturization, and portability on our bodies, our clothing, our architecture, our cities, and our uses of space and time. He argues that a world governed less and less by boundaries and more and more by connections requires us to reimagine and reconstruct our environment and to reconsider the ethical foundations of design, engineering, and planning practice
