‘In this sophisticated and insightful anthropological critique of the global surge in bioscience and bioeconomic activity, we are reminded that global biodata extraction and organization have become a centering force of life sciences everywhere.’ Peter C. Little, Rhode Island College ‘This book poses a critical question needed at this moment. Is it possible to build ethical infrastructures for learning and thinking about our biologies and health? Using an impressive ethnographic practice, the authors deliver a powerful call for the social groundedness of our knowledge – not only for biodata, but beyond.’ Deboleena Roy, Emory College of Arts and Sciences
