New information technologies enable us to interact with each other in totally new ways. The Interaction Society: Theories, Practice and Supportive Technologies provides readers with a rich overview of the emerging interaction society enabled by these new information and communication technologies (ICT). Readers will gain a theoretically deep understanding of the core issues related to the character of the emerging interaction society, be exposed to empirical case studies that can help to understand the impact of this emergence through analysis of concrete examples, and benefit from descriptions of concrete design projects aimed at designing new novel information technologies to support activities in the interaction society.

Recently it has been argued that there is a need for computer science, and related fields of research, to shift its focus from user tasks, their requirements, applications or computing, to issues concerning interaction, mutual awareness, and ubiquity (e.g., Dourish, 2001).
