I am delighted to announce the release of the First Monday special issue "'Reclaiming the Internet' with distributed architectures" (the twentieth in the journal's history!), which I co-edited with Cécile Méadel. The set of thought-provoking papers in this First Monday special issue were originally part of the final symposium of the research project ADAM (adam.hypotheses.org), which from 2010 to 2014 investigated the social, political, economic and legal dimensions of distributed network architectures.

Please find the table of contents below and apologies for cross-posting.

Kindest regards,

Francesca
