"As people use self-tracking devices and other digital technologies, they generate increasing quantities of personal information online. Lupton develops a fresh and intriguing perspective on how people make sense of and use their personal data, and what they know about others who use this information"--

Recenzje

'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
