Bibliography

As part of this project the participants are trying to collect a broad selection of ideas and writing about the idea of "infrastructure" across disciplines. From systems theory to social infrastructure to utility economics, what are the useful ways to think about infrastructure? And what is the most compelling writing about infrastructure? We are particularly interested in information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure but in fact any conception that helps us understand ICT infrastructure by comparison to other systems is also essential.
