“Combining a deep understanding of software, media and critical data studies, Nathaniel Tkacz’s new book is something to get excited about: both extremely intelligent and eminently enjoyable to read.” Jussi Parikka, Aarhus University “Nathaniel Tkacz analyses the increasingly ubiquitous ‘dashboards’ that format data and that in the process help to format us as we grapple with uncertainties and struggle to react to changing conditions. Being with Data offers a theory of formatting which is both lucid and timely.” Lisa Gitelman, New York University

Through insightful analyses of the cultural history of dashboards, he demonstrates how this history continues to shape their current usage and challenges readers to rethink about data and its formats. The book crosses multiple academic fields and is aimed at academic readerships, but Tkacz’s engaging writing style and insightful critique make it accessible and thought-provoking for a broader audience. Tkacz’s multidisciplinary background enables his mastery of the terrain and contributes insights to experts in each respective area.” Li Zeng, International Journal of Communication
