To "everyday consumers" of information from a popular media the "not-real" is experienced by almost every time they read a book or magazine, turn on a television, watch a movie or access information via the Web. They are instantly taken to another world, which may well be the very reason that they use these devices - for "escaping" their real reality. They may see access to media as a way to escape reality, to explore and experience "other" worlds and to participate in non-daily activities. This is something that is just an attribute of popular media consumption. Professional designers and cartographers use the non-real to make it easier to navigate the real using paper maps.§This book addresses the many areas where "different" geographies are being specified and mapped. It provides examples of new theories being developed and practical mapping applications that are representing these geographies.
