Yet, the nature of data and the scope and implications of the changes taking place are not always clear.

Thoroughly updated, including ten new chapters, the book provides an accessible and comprehensive:
introduction to thinking conceptually about the nature of data and the field of critical data studies
overview of big data, open data and data infrastructures
analysis of the utility and value of big and open data for research, business, government and civil society
assessment of the concerns and risks in a data-driven world and how to prevent and mitigate them.
