Public Books 101 takes a scholarly look at a world worth studying. In each mini-series, world-class scholars and writers join our host to examine a single topic from many angles, opening a window into the conversations that experts are having with one another about the urgent issues and problems facing us today.
Season 1 takes on the internet: the vast digital environment that has changed the way we live, work, and form communities. Season 2 explores another technology that facilitates communication and self-expression—but one that is considerably older: the novel. What are novels still doing for readers in the 21st century?

Welcome to season 3 of Public Books 101! This season, “Becoming Data,” is produced in partnership with Data & Society, a research institute that studies the social implications of data-centric technologies and automation. Our host is Natalie Kerby, a media producer, editor, researcher, and currently, the digital content associate at Data & Society.
How long has human life been quantified as data, and in what contexts? What are some major implications of humanity being measured as data? How are people pushing back against the datafication of human life, work, health, and citizenship? With her guests, Natalie will be exploring these questions and more.
This season, "Becoming Data," is a partnership between the magazine Public Books and the research institution Data & Society. Follow us on Twitter @PublicBooks and @DataSociety.
