Jennifer Gabrys is a reader in sociology at Goldsmiths,
University of London. She is the author of Digital Rubbish: A
Natural History of Electronics.
"Jennifer Gabrys deftly synthesizes fields and lines of inquiry in
weaving a signature story of our age, working across intellectual
planes and variegated systems and networks. Program Earth is a
tantalizing account of digital, citizen-sensing worlds in the
making."—Kevin McHugh, Arizona State University"Impressive and
original, Program Earth is not just concerned with the collection
and dissemination of data, but also—and more crucially—with the
transformation of these data and with their effects."—Steven
Shaviro, author of The Universe of Things: On Speculative
Realism
"Full of stimulating ideas and provocative reframings of
environmental concerns that are sure to spark further
research."—American Journal of Sociology "Readers will revel
in extensively written case studies as well as the contemplative
opportunity to challenge, with renewed conceptual tools, the urgent
notion of the environment."—Cultural Geographies"Jennifer Gabrys'
book is a timely publication that combines empirical insights with
a necessary speculative attitude in an emerging
field."—Tecnosciencza"This sociological treatise is a valuable
contribution for historians of technology... Program Earth succeeds
in raising multiple epistemological and political issues
intertwining sensing technologies, infrastructures, democracy, and
power."—Technology and Culture
