A Guide To A Better You

Jer Thorp’s analysis of the word “data” in 10,325 New York Times stories written between 1984 and 2018 shows a distinct trend: among the words most closely associated with “data,” we find not only its classic companions “information” and “digital,” but also a variety of new neighbors—from “scandal” and “misinformation” to “ethics,” “friends,” and “play.” To live in data in the twenty-first century is to be incessantly extracted from, classified and categorized, statisti-fied, sold, and surveilled. Data—our data—is mined and processed for profit, power, and political gain. In Living in Data, Thorp asks a crucial question of our time: How do we stop passively inhabiting data, and instead become active citizens of it? Threading a data story through hippo attacks, glaciers, and school gymnasiums, around colossal rice piles, and over active minefields, Living in Data reminds us that the future of data is still wide open, that there are ways to transcend facts and figures and to find more visceral ways to engage with data, that there are always new stories to be told about how data can be used. Punctuated with Thorp's original and informative illustrations, Living in Data not only redefines what data is, but reimagines who gets to speak its language and how to use its power to create a more just and democratic future. Timely and inspiring, Living in Data gives us a much-needed path forward.

I was sent to save the city. It turns out I'm the poison that will destroy it. Sun City is a city divided, eaten away by the corruption of the Elite upper-class who reside in the Gold District. The drugs siphon down into the middle-class White District, killing the dreams of its residents until they end up in poverty-stricken Blue District. Ana Jacobs has spent the last year of her life atoning for her father's sins and searching for the truth about the Trinity. During the day, she's Sun City's best cop. At night, she becomes Night Hawk, a bow and arrow wielding vigilante who dispatches those within the Trinity's corrupt Inner Circle. Between both worlds, she works to fight her demons. Years of torture didn't break Ana, but the truth just might. Now, with the burden of how she's tied to the city's death sentence, a new villain places her and all she loves in their sights. She's determined to protect her newfound family, but when she comes face to face with the Nightwatchman, Ana realizes the man she loves is as tangled in the city's lies as she is. Together, they might be able to save the city -- if only Ana lets Levi in. But some demons never rest.
