He is the author of The Scientific Journal: Authorship and the Politics of Knowledge in the Nineteenth Century (Chicago, 2018) and is currently completing a book titled “Rank and File: From the Literature Search to Algorithmic Judgment.”Stephanie Dick is an assistant professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University. Her research explores entanglements of mathematics and computing in the postwar United States. She is coeditor of Abstractions and Embodiments: New Histories of Computing and Society (Johns Hopkins, 2022).Theodora Dryer, PhD, is a writer, historian, and critical policy analyst. Her research centers on data and technology in the climate crisis and the political functions of algorithms and digital data systems in water and natural resource management. She teaches on technology and environmental justice at New York University.Salem Elzway is a PhD candidate in history at the University of Michigan and a national fellow with the Jefferson Scholars Foundation. His research explores the political and socioeconomic history of automation, security policy, and welfare in the postwar United States. The dissertation emerging from this, titled “Arms of the State: A History of the Industrial Robot in Postwar America,” provides the first scholarly history of the industrial robot and demonstrates how the American state’s socialization of the technology underwrote a political economy that exacerbated economic insecurity and reproduced social inequality.James Evans is Max Palevsky Professor of History and Civilization in Sociology and director of Knowledge Lab at the University of Chicago, where he also serves as faculty director of the Program in Computational Social Science. He holds an external professorship at the Santa Fe Institute and is the author of numerous articles in Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the sociohistory of scientific institutions, from teams and fields to failure.Adrian Johns is Allan Grant Maclear Professor in the Department of History at the University of Chicago, and the author of Death of a Pirate: British Radio and the Making of the Information Age (W.
