"Who better to put together A Billion Little Pieces—and make meaning from it all—than Jordan Frith, a prescient critic of emerging technologies? Dr. Frith examines two overlapping and expanding trends: ubiquitous-computing mobility and deepening levels of human-activity datafication, illustrating just how quietly surveilled our lives are becoming."
--Brett Oppegaard, Associate Professor in the School of Communications, University of Hawaii
"An excellent and easy-to-read account of RFID tags as part of the Internet of Things—'invisible' mobile infrastructures with key roles in tracking the mobility of people and things and participating in Big Data collection. A must-read for all interested in mobile communication, mobilities, and internet studies."
--Adriana de Souza e Silva, Professor of Communication, NC State University
