Press blurb:  Why does the problem of data privacy remain so intractable? *Deep
Dark Data* explores how this contemporary problem begins with the ways we
define and use personal data. Instead of debating how best to protect
personal data, Alison Cool argues that we would be better off asking how
data became personal in the first place. Drawing on years of ethnographic
research in Sweden, the most datafied country in the world, Cool reveals
that what we call personal data encapsulates a number of very different
relations between data and persons, none of which are inherent in the data
itself. This surprising and highly original book untangles these relations
and traces their troubled histories, ultimately inviting us to understand
privacy as a gendered and racialized politics of moral exclusion.
