520    "More objects and devices are connected to digital 
       networks than ever before. Things - from your phone to 
       your car, from the heating to the lights in your house - 
       have gathered the ability to sense their environments and 
       create information about what is happening. Things have 
       become media, able to both generate and communicate 
       information. This has become known as 'the internet of 
       things'. In this accessible introduction, Graham Meikle 
       and Mercedes Bunz observe its promises of convenience and 
       the breaking of new frontiers in communication. They also 
       raise urgent questions regarding ubiquitous surveillance 
       and information security, as well as the transformation of
       intimate personal information into commercial data. 
       Discussing the internet of things from a media and 
       communication perspective, this book is an important 
       resource for courses analysing the internet and society, 
       and essential reading for anyone who wants to better 
       understand the rapidly changing roles of our networked 
       lives."--|cProvided by publisher.
