The City Is A Battlesuit For Surviving The Future

[Duncan Wilson]

The City Is A Battlesuit For Surviving The Future is a great post on Io9 by Matt Jones at Berg on comics, Archigram, urban informatics and the city. His intro starts: "In February of this year I gave a talk at webstock in New Zealand, entitled "The Demon-Haunted World" - which investigated past visions of future cities in order to reflect upon work being done currently in the field of 'urban computing'. In particular I examined the radical work of influential 60's architecture collective Archigram, who I found through my research had coined the term 'social software' back in 1972, 30 years before it was on the lips of Clay Shirky and other internet gurus." Great inspiration for those working on information in the urban environment.
