"""A rich resource for anyone concerned with how information - understood as always material and relational - comes to matter, its dominant formations as data, and how data could be made differently."" Lucy Suchman, Lancaster University ""An unusually incisive and pragmatic approach to what it means to live with information. Synthesising thinking from a huge range of disciplines and domains from our worlds of plural information, the book effectively provides a guide to how to live, situate, engage or extricate oneself."" Adrian Mackenzie, Australian National University ""A breath of fresh air, a book about data, but uniquely framed as the lively matter of information -- in the sense of 'being in-formation' - and always bringing us back to what makes all this information matter."" David Ribes, University of Washington"

Lucy Suchman, Lancaster University ""An intriguing account of how data becomes information and is then taken up in material interventions of surveillance and control. By drawing on a wide range of literature, the book demonstrates the complex and ethical relations involved in making information matter in different worlds."" Evelyn Ruppert, Goldsmiths, University of London"
