This digital book offers a new history of data visualization from the eighteenth century to the present.

Through a set of six interactive case studies, Data By Design will show how visualizations of data, like the data themselves, are never neutral informational forms. Rather, they always carry a set of implicit assumptions—and, at times, explicit arguments—about how knowledge is produced, and who is authorized to produce it.

What is the story we tell about the emergence of modern data visualization?
How might we tell that story differently?
