Welcome to the Identity Media Review Group.

The purpose of the Identity Media Review Group is to support the Identity Commons community engaging with books, movies and other media that cover identity related topics. We do this by collecting a bibliography and by reviewing and discussing these media. We use the issues raised by these works to inform our work innovating the identity layer of the web and help us understand and address the social, psychological, legal, privacy, security, regulatory and ethical issues.

I hope that we will document our discussion so that it will be a resource to the Identity Commons community and the public who will be using the identity systems that we are building.
