Reviews

‘Deborah Lupton lucidly explains how data, human bodies and “selves” are inextricably entwined in our contemporary digital world. This is a perfect sequel to her excellent The Quantified Self.’
José van Dijck, author of The Culture of Connectivity and The Platform Society ‘An exciting study of human-data interactions in a digital era. From digitized pregnancy to worries about the surveillant use of personal data by third parties, there’s much here to stimulate debate. A must-read marker for digital sociology in the twenty-first century.’
David Lyon, Queen’s University, Canada

"Data Selves puts forward a thorough and complete theory of human-data entanglement. Its strength lies in its breadth and ambition, uniting a variety of fields of study to produce nuanced views that will be fruitful for readers from both humanistic and social-scientific disci-plines. Ultimately, Lupton’s monograph represents a thoughtful and novel exploration of media-human ontology, rich with diverse examples, which will benefit undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars alike."
