Sammendrag
Th e social world is increasingly quantifi ed, rendered as digital trace information –
geolocation, web metrics, self-tracking, social graphs, likes and shares, and much more.
Such data may be collected and analysed at ever larger scale amid the growing ubiquity
of mobile devices, always-on sensors, ‘smart’ homes, algorithms and automated systems,
digital repositories and archives, and the many fragments of social activity represented
by ones and zeroes ( Kitchin and McArdle 2016 ; Mayer-Sch ö nberger and Cukier 2013 ).
