Ubiquitous computing--almost imperceptible, but everywhere
around us--is rapidly becoming a reality. How will it change
us? how can we shape its emergence? Smart buildings, smart furniture, smart clothing... even
smart bathtubs. networked street signs and self-describing
soda cans. Gestural interfaces like those seen in Minority
Report. The RFID tags now embedded in everything from credit
cards to the family pet. All of these are facets of the ubiquitous computing author
Adam Greenfield calls "everyware." In a series of brief,
thoughtful meditations, Greenfield explains how everyware is
already reshaping our lives, transforming our understanding
of the cities we live in, the communities we belong to--and
the way we see ourselves
