Mission

The Advances in the Social and Political Impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ASPIICT) Book Series is a multi-disciplinary international book series that aims to publish high quality original research on this important topic. This series will involve books that cover topics relating to the effect of ICT on individuals and on society at large. It will concentrate on the link between people (individually and collectively) and information and communication technologies (ICT). Although applications and case studies of ICT implementations will come into this, they will only do so in relation to the effect they have on individual people and on society as a whole. Books in the series will consider what has happened in the (recent) past, how changes in technology have impacted on people, and how research suggests that society may change in the future due to the effects of this technology. To do this, articles will obviously need to discuss the technology itself, but only with a view to its effect on people.
