From the handwritten figures of seventeenth-century accountants to statistical compilations printed in the nineteenth century, and on to digital data stored in electronic files-this might all appear the same to a modern reader. This book invites us to approach these figures differently: to rigorously differentiate between these different types of data to guard against the excesses of digital abstraction.
