It is based on authorization, on systems of data mining and algorithmic expertise that allow corporations, consultancies, and states, often acting in conjunction, to frame and enact the future for specific profit and security interests. This book subtly and elegantly repudiates any inclination to think that sovereign power has waned. --Ash Amin, coauthor of Arts of the Political: New Openings for the Left Author InformationLouise Amoore is Professor of Political Geography at Durham University in Durham, England.
