While such an ethic remains more important than ever, \u003ci\u003eThe Digital Future of Hospitality \u003c\/i\u003eupdates this enduring philosophical imperative for digital times. Through the lens of cultural studies, intersectional feminism, and posthumanism, this book reanimates hospitality in relation to a series of digital texts that are relevant to the twenty-first century and beyond – android figures on television, virtual domestic assistants, home- and ride-sharing apps, wearable devices, and a renewed cultural obsession with viruses and immunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-04-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031245657\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-24563-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 141\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47717128339596,"sku":"9783031245657","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031245657.jpg?v=1776868799","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031245657","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
