The British sociologist John Urry has devoted his academic life to think on how the constant technological advances - in transport and communications, especially - have transformed the society. In 2010, with the collaboration of Anthony Elliott, Urry publishes Mobile Lives, which aims to analyze sociologically, how the aforementioned technological advances affect the multiple and new ways that identities are formed and organized through various spaces and in the course time. This text aims to highlight the main points of this book, comparing it with the previous work of Urry considering that constitute the same effort to consolidate the mobilities paradigm.
