Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-19 00:00:00 Kok-kiong Loh Many of these essays had a literary quality that can be rare in academic writing. They were fluid and moving, with the form used to illuminate content, not obfuscate it. I think this is especially true of the first essay in the collection, by David Halperin, where he is exploring the relationship between our emotions, value, and what is culturally conceived of as 'waste.' Still, not all of the pieces achieved this, and I would have liked to see some serious argumentation about the construction and negation of cultural value, rather than the rather loose, thematic connections being drawn by many of the authors.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-29 00:00:00 Jeff Curtis I am using this book as the textbook in my class on information systems and analysis. All of the other books I found covering information economics were written at the graduate level or were research monographs. This book, in contrast, is quite accessible to an undergraduate. It covers modern, interesting material with clear exposition. My only complaints: there are quite a few typos; and sometimes the book is almost *too* elementary for students taking my class, and I have to supplement with more advanced material.
