Die verbreiteten Begriffe ‚Informationsgesellschaft' und ‚Age of Access' suggerieren die problemlose Zugänglichkeit von Information. Doch Information ist in der Realität in vielerlei Hinsicht unzugänglich - physisch, wirtschaftlich, intellektuell, sprachlich, politisch, technisch. Diese neue Buchreihe bringt Wissenschaftler und Praktiker zusammen, um die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Unzugänglichkeit auszuloten sowie Prinzipien und Techniken ihrer praktischen und gesellschaftlichen Überwindung aufzuzeigen.
