Aims and Scope:
This exciting new journal is unique in its aim to 
concentrate specifically on the social, economic and 
cultural impact of the emerging properties of the 
information age. Information Communication & Society (iCS) 
trancends cultural and geographical boudaries as it 
explores a diverse range of issues relating to the 
development and application of information and 
communications technologies (ICT's), asking such questions 
as: 

What are the new and evolving forms of computer mediated 
human interaction?
Which direction will the forms take?

 How are information and communications technologies 
(ICT's) facilitating globalization  and how might this 
affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences 
and regional sub-cultures? 
. Are ICT's leading to an age of electronic surveillance or 
social control? What are the implications for policing 
criminal activity, citizen privacy, and public expression? 
. How are ICT s affecting daily life and social structures 
such as the family, work and organization, commerce and 
business, education, health care and leisure activities? 
. To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using 
ICT's impact on the construction of objects, spaces and 
entities in the material world? 

iCS analyses such questions from a global, 
interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very 
highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the 
social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication 
and media studies, as well as in the information and 
computer sciences, will also explore the very latest 
developments in nanotechnology, biotechnology, immunology 
and other areas which are closely related to developments 
in information technologies, and their implications for 
social and economic change.
