This is a delightful book, one as quirkily insightful as it is entertaining. - Kirkus Reviews Little Data turns like an Alfa Romeo racing Formula One. Here, says the title, take a nut of an idea then squeeze it until the juice comes out. Each bit of data here is extracted, transformed, crushed, then palpated back to life. Who knew so much love could be drawn from airports and backpacks, obstacle courses and salami? Schaberg and Yakich are excellent drivers and take the turns with mad skill - a high-speed Dickinson, an autobahn Basho, a freeway Rimbaud. - NICOLE WALKER, author of Processed Meats In this glossary of contemporary terms and concepts, deftly and delightfully defamiliarized, the authors reveal an uncanny ability to zoom in on the details of modernity and consider them in such a way that the everyday becomes once again miraculous. - MATTHEW VOLLMER, author of All of Us Together in the End Against certainty and smug quantification, Little Data resists the banal commodification of contemporary parenting manuals. By exploring the humility of being human, the sordid failures of our idealisms, and the insoluble paradox of choice, these mini-essays remind us that although test results and quizzes haven't made people more legible to one another, children still can. - ALINA STEFANESCU, author of Every Mask I Tried On CHRISTOPHER SCHABERG is the Director of Public Scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis. His most recent books are Adventure: An Argument for Limits (Bloomsbury, 2023), Fly-Fishing (Duke University Press, 2023), and Pedagogy of the Depressed (Bloomsbury, 2022).
