Another publisher is entering the fray with a book on WikiLeaks. After PublicAffairs announced Monday that it was crashing a book about the Web site by journalists from The Guardian, OR Books has revealed it has a book on the site as well -- Micah L. Silfry's WikiLeaks and the Age of Transparency. Silfry is an expert on politics and the Internet, per OR, and the book, which will be available in paperback and e-book, is scheduled for February 21.
As OR explains, Silfry, who is the co-founder of Personal Democracy Forum, will delve into the larger implications of WikiLeaks, and what it says about our current media and culture. The publisher says Silfry will "argue that WikiLeaks is not the whole story: it is a symptom, an indicator of an ongoing generational and philosophical struggle between older, closed systems, and the new open culture of the Internet."
