Technologists frequently promote self-tracking devices as objective tools. This book argues that such glib and often worrying assertions must be placed in the context of precarious industry dynamics. By ethnographically exploring how tech executives navigate this business environment, the book reveals the practical ambiguity of digital knowledge.
