About The Author	Jay Owens is a writer and researcher based in London, UK. Her work explores dust and digital media – both complex, ambivalent ecosystems where grand technological dreams come to clash with messier practical realities. Jay is a former Research Director at the audience insight platform Pulsar, helping media and technology companies (including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, & Samsung) understand the present state of things online. Her research and comment on technology, media culture and behaviour has received coverage in the Guardian, WIRED, VICE and advertising press.
	'Like a detective dusting for fingerprints, Jay Owens masterfully reveals the hidden traces of modernity by following some of its smallest fragments. Dust is a hugely original and engrossing history. It's a book that captures our current age – its diffusion, its wonder, and its terror – as well as tracing its future fall-out, both literal and symbolic. – James Vincent, author of Beyond Measure
Other text	Exploring dust as a method for seeing the world – from space dust to sandstorms, the domestic to the digital.
