Automated Horizons

The digital revolution, especially the impact of artificial intelligence, has ushered in dramatic social change. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the domain of mobilities – spanning travel, transport and tourism. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of those changes, and an authoritative critique of current trends of development in social theory. The book ranges in a systematic way across the key intersections of mobilities and digital technologies today. Among the topics covered are the relationship of the digital revolution and transformations in movement and mobilities; the connections between AI and automated mobilities; cities, tourism, lifestyle migration and the politics of contemporary digital borders. The highly distinguished group of contributors include Mimi Sheller, Ole B. Jensen, Anthony Elliott, Hideki Endo, Thomas Birtchnell and Frauke Behrendt, as well as contributions from other leading Japanese, European and Australasian scholars.
