"Nuanced and engaging, James Gilmore's exploration of wearable technologies reveals how personalized datafication enrolls users in a system that consolidates institutional power and increases social marginalization."--Torin Monahan, author of Crisis Vision: Race and the Cultural Production of Surveillance

"Bringers of Order traces an important and clarifying map of wearable assemblages. Looking beyond aspects of surveillance or technical fixes, Gilmore provides timely insight into how discourses about and affordances of these devices shape understandings of ourselves and the world around us, and the power and politics involved."--J. Macgregor Wise, Professor of Communication Studies, Arizona State University
