"Algorithmic data profiling is not merely an important topic in contemporary fiction, it is an increasingly dominant form of storytelling and characterization in our society. These stories are being told inside boardrooms, banks, presidential briefings, police stations, advertising agencies, and technology companies. And so, to the extent that data has taken up storytelling, literature must take up data. After all, profiling coincides with character development; surveillance reflects point of view; and data points track as plot-points in tales of the political-economy. Plotting Profiles engages this energetic reformation of postmodern literature to account for a society and economy of frenetic counting. Indeed, contemporary literature is capable of addressing precisely that which algorithms cannot or do not account for: the affects of profile culture, the ideologies and supposed truth-power of data, the gendered and racialized dynamics of watching and being watched, and the politics of who counts and what gets counted. Each chapter analyzes preeminent and prescient work by contemporary authors such as Jennifer Egan, Claudia Rankine, Mohsin Hamid, and William Gibson to probe how the claims of data surveillance serve to make lives seem legible, intelligible, and sometimes even expendable. This book contributes to literary studies, new media studies, affect studies, surveillance studies, critical race studies, and gender studies because, ultimately, these discourses are inextricably knotted together around the problems of profiling"--
