mazal tov to my friend and colleague ian kerr for co-editing and publishing LESSONS FROM THE IDENTITY TRAIL: ANONYMITY, PRIVACY AND IDENTITY IN A NETWORKED SOCIETY, which looks to be one of the most significant contributions to the world-wide privacy literature in recent memory. kerr and his illustrious co-editors valerie steeves and carole lucock have pulled off an equally impressive feat by convincing oxford university press to make both the hard copy and a digital version of the book available pursuant to a creative commons licence—the first time this prestigious publisher has done something like that. my only disappointment is that they couldn’t convince the publisher to push aside convention and print the entire volume using only lowercase characters. (anyone who knows ian will know what i'm talking about here.) anyways, this new book certainly tops my list of required reading for the summer, and i recommend you put it on yours too.
