Space Time Play: Computer Games, Architecture and Urbanism: The Next Level
Computer- und Videospiele verlassen den Computer und erobern als mobile Applikationen (wie GPS-Handys, etc.) den Alltagsraum – neue Formen von Architektur und Stadt entstehen.

After reading this book for almost two years now, I've finally finished. I read this more as a short entry before bed as a thought provoking way to end my day, and overall I thought it was a good read. I found some articles to be more thought provoking than others, some pretty dull, and others just went over my head with big abstract language. And then, with this book being pretty much old in terms of how fast technology moves today, some articles were outdated, but it was pretty interesting to see just how people predicted this technology would move forward. There were a few good quotes and tidbits of information I'll take on from this, but in an actual architectural sense, there probably isn't much I will use day to day.
