Summary

This chapter considers the future of access, and flexibility in property more generally. It speculates on how new consumption technologies might affect property and the access economy. It covers big data analytics, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence. The tentative conclusion from this analysis is that new technologies promote further detachment from physical possessions, carrying on the trend marked by the access economy, but also exacerbating some of the vulnerabilities it creates. It is hard to know what the future holds, but the decline of property stability and the rise of flexible use provide a new prism for thinking about changes to the social institution of property.
