This book delves into the technical, sociological, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of data, providing guidance on responsible data use and highlighting real-world examples from fields such as genetics, sport, and digital innovation. Through its examination of data practices, Data and Society fosters informed debate about the role of data in contemporary society.
