Finally published! I have a chapter, ‘Platform City People’, out in this fully *open access* book, Being Human in the Digital World, edited by Val Steeves and Beate Roessler, from Cambridge. Please read everything in it.

It’s a piece about how the developers and promoters of what we might call post-smart cities, platform cities or AI cities see the putative inhabitants of these exclusive and exclusionary places. I wrote this quite a while ago now, and in a deliberately accessible style, and more than a little bit polemical, satirical and sarcastic in its tone. I think it still stands up well.
The whole book is here, and it also includes great things from the likes of Frank Pasquale, Julie Cohen and Azadeh Akbari amongst many others…
