摘要

At an earlier point in history, one might have been taken aback by a scholarly presentation of targeted drone strikes, percussion playing robots and couple-making dating sites as case studies for serious consideration within the same book. However, in the context of the second decade of the twenty-first century, we find that digitization has woven the banal trivialities of everyday life as well as the abject severities of state security into a common, discursive web that permeates every facet of contemporary existence. Through the unrelenting use of our personal digital technologies, a dimension of our identity is shaped within this pervasive digital web. Indeed, algorithms have arrived and, for better or worse, they are here to stay. Throughout the length of his most recent book, We are data: Algorithms and the making of our digital selves, John Cheney-Lippold presents compelling evidence that we now simultaneously inhabit both natural and artificial worlds, and that who we are is negotiated somewhere between the two. The focus of his book is dedicated to understanding how our emergent digital identities are defined within an algorithmically moderated environment on data's terms. According to his account of how data defines us on its terms, Cheney-Lippold explains that our metadata, procured through algorithmic deduction, is strategically siphoned into typified profiles of 'who we are' according to formulaic parameters (and in relation to the digital identity narrative that the governing algorithm is tasked to procure). He has aptly coined these typified profiles 'measurable types,' inspired by Max Weber and Erving Goffman's conception of the 'ideal type' (Cheney-Lippold, 2017, p. 51). According to Weber, an 'ideal type' is, formed by the one-sided accentuation of one or more points of view and by the synthesis of a great many diffuse, discrete, more or less present and occasionally absent concrete individual phenomena, which are arranged according to those one-sided emphasized viewpoints into a unified analytical construct.
