"Combining a deep understanding of software, media and critical data studies, Nathaniel Tkacz's new book is something to get excited about: both extremely intelligent and eminently enjoyable to read."Jussi Parikka, Aarhus University"Nathaniel Tkacz analyses the increasingly ubiquitous 'dashboards' that format data and that in the process help to format us as we grapple with uncertainties and struggle to react to changing conditions. Being with Data offers a theory of formatting which is both lucid and timely."Lisa Gitelman, New York University
