Information Society Series: An Interdisciplinary Book Series on Technology, Law, and Society

I’m delighted to announce the launch of a new book series I am co-editing with Laura DeNardis, Ph.D, the Executive Director of the Yale Information Society Project:

Information Society Series: An Interdisciplinary Series on Technology, Law, and Society
Series Editors, Laura DeNardis and Michael Zimmer
MIT Press

The Information Society Series will address the social, legal, and policy implications of the Internet and new information technologies and will especially feature works from the growing global ranks of interdisciplinary scholars in information schools; communications departments; science, technology, and society programs; and programs in law, technology, and culture.

We are accepting book proposals for the series. Preference will be given to monographs rather than edited volumes and books that are interdisciplinary, normative, and global in scope. Book proposals should include:

1. a prospectus (brief description, outstanding features and uniqueness of work, audience and market considerations, status of book, and recommended reviewers);
2. a detailed table of contents;
3. sample chapters; and
4. the authors curriculum vitae.

Please submit completed proposals to denardis@american.edu and zimmerm@uwm.edu.

Current books in the series include:

• Interfaces on Trial 2.0, by Jonathan Band and Masanobu Katoh
• Opening Standards: The Global Politics of Interoperability, edited by Laura DeNardis
• The Reputation Society: How Online Opinions Are Reshaping the Offline World, edited by Hassan Masum and Mark Tovey
• The Digital Rights Movement: The Role of Technology in Subverting Digital Copyright, by Hector Postigo
