The authors of this volume offer a speculative engagement with cultures of scientific competition, institutional habits, server procurement and regulations, and with funding procedures that each in different ways contribute to scientific computing and its planetary effects. Short speculative ethnographic texts and original line art offer witty and thought-provoking takes on the challenges data-driven science faces in times of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeman Çelik (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLeman Çelik\u003c\/b\u003e is a doctoral researcher at the Collaborative Research Centre Virtual Lifeworlds at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Trained in sociology and political science in Istanbul, she conducted research in urban studies before expanding her focus to science and technology studies. Her work investigates data infrastructures and the knowledge production practices of diverse scientific fields, with a particular interest in the reciprocal relationship between data infrastructures and scientific knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStefan Laser (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStefan Laser\u003c\/b\u003e is a postdoctoral researcher at the Collaborative Research Centre Virtual Lifeworlds at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He has published widely on high-tech infrastructures, socio-ecological transitions, waste, and energy, and contributes to economic sociology, science and technology studies, valuation studies and discard studies. His research focuses on data centres and their planetary entanglement, from local siting to global value chains, in particular researching Asia-Pacific with a focus on the emerging chip industry in Vietnam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEstrid Sørensen (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEstrid Sørensen\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of cultural psychology and anthropology of knowledge at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. She conducts research on the intersection of technology and knowledge production from a Science \u0026amp; Technology Studies perspective, and is the head of the RUSTlab, the Ruhr-University Science \u0026amp; Technology Studies Lab. Her ethnographic research addresses data infrastructures, particularly data centres. She inquires into university data centres as mediators between knowledge and the planet, and researches how they contribute to making knowledge (in)visible as planetary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSandra Abels (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sandra Abels studies social sciences at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and is a research student at the Collaborative Research Centre Virtual Lifeworlds. She is interested in science and technology studies, ethnographic research, and research at the boundaries between science and art. For her master's thesis, she is researching the restructuring of a museum's digital data base and the respective data infrastructure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53878125363507,"sku":"9783837678192","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/kK7vQzoEc09783837678192.webp?v=1787191520","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/staying-with-the-planet-the-university-that-tried-to-reckon-with-ecological-reality-challenged-excessive-data-infrastructures-and-nurtured-a-few-al-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
