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.\u003cbr\u003e- NICOLE WALKER, author of \u003ci\u003eProcessed Meats\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e- MATTHEW VOLLMER, author of \u003ci\u003eAll of Us Together in the End\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst certainty and smug quantification, \u003ci\u003eLittle Data\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e- ALINA STEFANESCU, author of \u003ci\u003eEvery Mask I Tried On\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCHRISTOPHER SCHABERG is the Director of Public Scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis.
