Dear AIR-Community, about a year ago we published an anthology called 'Generation Facebook'. It contains ground-breaking theoretical papers and essays by leading international scholars such as Saskia Sassen, Geert Lovink and Mark Andrejevic. It is used widely in university teaching, received critical acclaim by the press and is deemed invaluable by media activists. So what's the catch? Right now, the book is only available in German. We think that this outstanding collection deserves an international audience. We also think that the contributions should be freely available in an Open Access format. Since we don’t have the means to make this happen all by ourselves, we decided to ask you (a.k.a “the crowd”) for support to: a) cover the production costs for an Open Access version that is freely available right from the beginning. b) finance translations of texts that originally were contributed in German. If you think this is a project that is worth your attention (and maybe even your money), please take a look at our funding website: http://www.indiegogo.com/generation-facebook You can find more information about the German version on our German publisher’s website: http://www.transcript-verlag.de/ts1859/ts1859.php Please help us to spread the word and to turn this into a successful experiment; please forward this email to anyone potentially interested and any mailing lists you see fit.
