Dunne & Raby investigate the real physical & cultural effects of the digital domain, demonstrating that mobile phones, computers & other electronic objects such as televisions profoundly influence people's experience of their environment. Dunne & Raby's ideas have important implications for architecture & design. In this, their first major book, they introduce their extraordinary new way of thinking about objects, space & behaviour to a broad audience. The book is divided into three sections: 1. Manifesto, introducing the authors' ideas about electromagnetic space. 2. Conversations. Dunne & Raby talk to a variety of designers, architects & artists about the impact electronic technology has on their practice.

3. Placebo. The intriguing results of a project involving Dunne & Raby's working furniture prototypes, including a table with an integrated global positioning system & a chair that lets the sitter know when radiation is passing through his body.
