Carefully distinguishing between big data and open data, and exploring various data infrastructures, Kitchin vividly illustrates how the data landscape is rapidly changing and calls for a revolution in how we think about data.
- Evelyn Ruppert, Goldsmiths, University of London
Deconstructs the hype around the 'data revolution' to carefully guide us through the histories and the futures of 'big data.'
