rachaelprest's review against another edition
5.0
Fascinating, joyful and eye opening. It made me want to step outside the daily confines of my life, dictated by algorithms and data, and reclaim my joy in the unquantifiable.

This book blew my mind. I love data viz and lately have been wondering where this culture of extreme measurement started. This book answered so many of my questions, from “why do we have the meter and foot?” to “how has measurements changed over time,m?” to most importantly, “How is measurement connected to power?” I feel like I underlined about half of the book.
