From Jonathan Sterne, Professor of Culture and Technology, McGill University: “At once fascinating and terrifying, The Secret Life of Data offers a kaleidoscopic view of the industries and technologies that collect, mine, churn, and trade our data, and what to do about them.”
From Siva Vaidhyanathan, Professor of Media Studies, The University of Virginia: “I have been waiting a long time for a clearly written book that cuts through the hype and describes how data—big and small, old and new—actually operate in our lives. Neither utopian nor dystopian, The Secret Life of Data just tells it like it is.”
