物联网(IoT)-将网络计算嵌入我们周围的物质世界-寻求重塑我们的日常生活。解决物联网就是解决21世纪经济的全球数字网络与我们生活中占绝大多数的平凡行为、影响和经历之间的物质接口。以国内物联网，即所谓的智能家居为焦点，作者认为，物联网不仅仅是现有趋势的强化，也就是计算连接的持续扩展，它已经从台式机跃升到笔记本电脑再到智能手机。在突破任何单一个人设备的限制时，无论移动程度如何，物联网不仅进一步化解了不同社交领域之间的时空距离，而且深刻地牵涉到了这些领域内的社交生活，以及环境成员之间的社交生活。物联网本质上是社会性的，任何类型的社交媒体都不是这样。在讨论日常生活和物联网的信息管理、控制、家务劳动和阻力之前，本章提供了对智能家居中正在发挥作用的政治经济学的考虑。最后，强调了物联网的两个关键特征：世界的折叠，不相称的社会领域相互层叠，结果往往是有问题的-甚至是荒谬的-以及它错误地努力消除日常生活中的社会摩擦，这未能认识到正是在这些摩擦中，存在着如此多的社会价值。
The internet of things (IoT)—the embedding of networked computing into the material world around us—seeks to reshape our everyday lives. To address the IoT is to address the material interface between the global digital networks of the twenty-first-century economy and the mundane doings, affects, and experiences which occupy the great majority of our existence. Taking domestic IoT, the so-called smart home, as a focus, the author argues that the IoT is more than simply an intensification of existing trends, the ongoing extension of computing connectivity which has already jumped from desktop to laptop to smartphone. In breaking out of the constraints of any single personal device, no matter how mobile, the IoT not only further dissolves the spatial and temporal distance between different social domains but also profoundly implicates social life within those domains, between the members of the setting. The IoT is constitutionally social in a way in which no type of social media is. The chapter provides a consideration of the political economy at play in the smart home, before addressing everyday life and the IoT in terms of information management, control, domestic labor, and resistance. In concluding, two key features of the IoT are highlighted: world folding, whereby incommensurate social domains are layered through one another with often problematic—even absurd—results and its misconceived efforts to erase the social frictions of everyday life, which fails to recognize that it is in these frictions that so much of what is socially valuable resides.
