- Heuristics of the algorithm: Big Data, user interpretation and institutional translation (2015, background): “In recent years, various scholars have noted that a world premised on networked complexity begets a flurry of phenomena characterized by such ‘power-law’ distributions (Hart, 2004; 2010; Lehmann et al., 2007; Urry, 2004).”
- ‘I Don’t Trust the Phone; It Always Lies’ (2007, background): “Face-to-face communication engages all the senses and for this reason has been described as “the richest multi-channel medium” (Urry 2004, 120) helping to establish and reproduce trust (Urry 2002, 259; Slater & Kwami 2005, 3).”
