I'm so reminded of Seeing Like a State (James Scott) where the author describes how much of society as we observe it is a function of designing it for data collection. I feel like there's a whole pedagogy on the philosophy and practice of 'data', and I wasn't aware of it.

I've got 'Seeing Like a State' and 'Data and Reality', Kent, on my to-read list, but I'm wondering what the appropriate bibliography here looks like. Anyone who sees this and has a suggestion, please add it!
