Description

Understanding our data-driven world has become increasingly important. Data shapes our everyday lives through digital technologies, and it's essential to navigate this landscape critically.

This book introduces readers to the central concepts and ideas required to make sense of life in the data age. Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn challenge the idea that datafication is inevitable, exploring how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data creatively and critically.

Through eight chapters, the authors cover the fundamentals of critical data literacies, from identifying and understanding data to more complex tactics. They argue for a collective rethinking of data's role in our lives, re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere.
