Overview
Joel Reidenberg is a legal scholar who coined the term 'Lex Informatica' — the formation of information policy rules through technology. Agre cited his work alongside Lessig's in 'Yesterday's Tomorrow' as evidence that technical standards function as a form of legislation.
Significance for Agre
Reidenberg's concept of Lex Informatica directly supports Agre's technology-as-inscription framework: the idea that technical standards set binding rules for populations, enforced by the logic of the machinery itself.
