"Afterlives of Data tells a disturbing story of citizenship in today's datafied societies. To get healthcare or housing, most of us are submitting to a new kind of leviathan that does not see people and relationships, but scores and ratings. This book is a strong call for democratic awakening."—Barbara Prainsack, University of Vienna
"Data extracted from our everyday lives shape our social standing and access to essential services. Combining rigorous research with a terrific ability to voice human experience, Mary Ebeling investigates the relations of power, trust, and interest that determine who gets to use our data—and how. This book illuminates the staggering risks and injustice permeating data-intensive services in the United States, thereby offering crucial insight on what needs to change."—Sabina Leonelli, University of Exeter
"Afterlives of Data is a powerful indictment of data practices that stigmatize and disadvantage so many Americans. Ebeling's highly original book ties obscure aspects of digitization to immediate and visceral crises of discrimination, inequality, and material deprivation. Rarely is such important and technical content presented in such a well-written and accessible narrative form. A truly impressive achievement."—Frank Pasquale, Brooklyn Law School
