Abstract

This book review emphasises Käll’s exploration of law beyond conventional ‘legal texts’, infiltrating private homes, urban spaces, human and non-human bodies within advanced capitalism. Käll advocates for a future posthuman, transcending anthropocentrism, jurisprudence, rooted in deeply relational ethics in an increasingly data-driven society. Synthesizing my spatio-legal perspectives with Käll’s theoretical approach, the review scrutinises key ideas, such as the implications of code/space in urban settings, its influence on demarcating private and public realms, and its trajectory towards a posthuman urban information ethics. It dissects intra-actions between bodies, technology, and space, emphasizing the agentic role and affective qualities of information in shaping law, property, and urban environments.
