Abstract
If data have politics what politics are these? This chapter interrogates the relationship between data, crisis, and technological determinism as it applies to "planetary scale urbanization" and smart cities. It traces how ideas of smart cities are closely linked to the discourse of the anthropocene, and pose fundemental challenges to how we think about political agency in our present. The chapter also traces other practices and discourses that might offer alternative visions of technology and urbanism.
