Dan Bouk is assistant professor of history at Colgate University and a member of the Historicizing Big Data working group at the Max Planck Institute for History of Science.
"Gripping, engaging, deeply human, and written with artistry and grace, Bouk's riveting history raises fundamental questions about corporate and state power in the reduction of individual human beings to a statistic, a risk-'the statistical individual' and 'the statistical citizen'-and in the power those values have not just to predict the future, but to make it." (Barbara Welke, University of Minnesota)
