He argues that mobile media's pervasive computing model, which allows users to connect and interact with the internet while moving across a wide variety of locations, produces a new sense of self -- a new embodied identity that stems from virtual space and material space regularly enhancing, cooperating or disrupting each other. Exploring a range of mobile media practices, including mobile maps and GPS technologies, location-aware social networks, urban and alternate reality games that use mobile devices, performance art, and storytelling projects, Farman illustrates how mobile technologies are changing the ways we produce lived, embodied spaces"--
