Post, Mine, Repeat

"Post, Mine, Repeat is a genuinely ground-breaking and original piece of work, in which Helen Kennedy shares a range of important and revealing empirical insights into the practices of data mining. To my knowledge, no-one before has managed to produce such detailed research into data mining. The book shows how data mining fits into commercial monitoring, into organisations, into activism and into public sector services, how these are changing, and exactly what part data mining plays in empowerment and resistance, as well as surveillance and control. It is accessible, yet it tells some complex stories. This really is a tremendous, agenda-setting piece of work." - Dr David Beer, University of York. "Helen Kennedy has written an enlightening, informative and utterly convincing book. The focus of Post, Mine, Repeat on "ordinary" uses of data mining is a hugely welcome and much-needed contribution to debates about the role of big data in society.^ I'm so glad that Kennedy's sane, measured, thoughtful, careful, eloquent, ethical voice is there in these debates, for me to cite, recommend and go back to for guidance whenever I get into arguments on the vitally important topics she covers."
