Data Money

Timothy Mitchell, author of Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil:
Data Money offers a novel, surprising, and persuasive account of the nature and development of cryptocurrencies. Drawing on extensive research among those who design, manage, and use them, the book combines a brilliant account of a social world seen from the inside with a perceptive analysis of how these new forms of money work.

Viviana A. Zelizer, author of The Social Meaning of Money and Economic Lives: How Culture Shapes the Economy:
With impressive clarity—drawing from striking interviews, fieldwork, and big data analysis—Data Money develops a pioneering analysis of cryptocurrencies, while transcending disciplinary boundaries and setting a new agenda for future research. Thank you, Koray Caliskan, for helping us make sense of the social world of money in the twenty-first century!
