#TheMapInTheMachine is real and it’s here thanks to the good people at @ucpress. Pre-order it! ucpress.edu/book/978052038…

The digital economy is not placeless. Companies like Netflix and Google Maps use location data to create targeted markets and drive value. Prof. @lfalvarezleon studies how geography powers digital capitalism—shaping data, markets, and everyday life. bit.ly/402l4uB
