Abstract
In some ways it is difficult to review a book when it has already been so favourably endorsed by a number of high-profile names. Manuel Castells, Saskia Sassen, William Mitchell, Steven Pinch, James Wheeler, and Barney Warf are among those who glowingly praise the book, either on its back cover or in its first pages: ``It is required reading'', ``cutting edge'', ``enormously important book'', ``a crucial text'', ``truly path-breaking'', ``Inspiring!'' And moreover, they are right. Building on their oft-cited 1996 text, Telecommunications and the City, Splintering Urbanism seems des-tined to be a landmark book for urban theorists and city planners.
