In this book the author takes us on a journey around the world for a preview of the next major technological and cultural shift. The coming wave is the result of super-efficient mobile communications : cellular phones, PDAs and hand-held computers, devices that put the power of instant and ubiquitous communication - literally - within everyone's grasp. From Lovegeties in Japan that light up when a potential mate appears in the vicinity, to the overthrow of repressive regimes in the Philippines and Senegal by cell-phone wielding activits, to terrorits coordinating via encoded text messages, these smart mobs represent a fundamentally new form of connectivity. Applying insights form sociology, articificial intelligence, economics and anthropology, he offers a penetrating perspective on the unprecedented convergence of pop culture, cutting-edge technology and social activism, reminding us that the real impact of mobile communications will come not from the technology itself but from how people use it.
