I'm going to reread a couple of books have a thematic connection with what seems to have got itself the name "locative media".
The first is 1984 by George Orwell, for the obvious reasons of pervasive surveillance and so on, though in fact the world is probably becoming a cross between 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World in that we're all being surveyed constantly while being tickled to death (though it's been so long since I read Brave New World that I can't actually remember what happens in it).
The second book I'm thinking of reading again is, ahem, The Tempest by big foreheaded greatest genius ever William Shakespeare.
In the Tempest some sailors are shipwrecked on a magical island where the atmosphere is full of strange noises and occurrences - it has a rich "hertzian space" to use the current terminology again. The island is ruled by a kindly but stern magician called Prospero who has a cute daughter and a magical servant called Ariel, who zips around the island through the ether, materializing here and there to do his masters bidding.
At the end of the play Prospero sets Ariel free and breaks his magic staff, which in student study texts is usually said to be Shakespeare's comment on retiring from his own genius, but for our purposes we might consider to be Prospero chucking out his wifi enabled laptop and becoming the Unabomber.
The Forbidden Planet is a sci fi version of The Tempest, so maybe this isn't so far fetched.
What's that you say? It's time? So soon. No, no, I don't need a blindfold...
