This open access book critically examines discussions on digitalisation and individual opportunities for socio-economic advancement. Contrary to the prevailing narratives of digital empowerment and opportunities for every individual this book argues that digitalisation massively curtails social advancement opportunities consolidating existing social relations. From a spatial perspective Scheffer demonstrates how socially disadvantaged groups are faced with reproducing mechanisms as part of a new data economy. Surprisingly the more intensively digital services are used the more this happens. Building on Löw´s sociology of space and Bourdieu´s concept of habitus this book shows how practices of social exclusion are transferred to the digital present in an innovative way. The image of mirrored spaces describes a new mechanism that explains social exclusion in the age of digitalisation. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in socio-economic inequalities processes of digitalisation and digital geographies.
