The same computer games are played by youths all over the world, and worldwide games become matters of concern in relation to children: worries rise about addiction, violence, education, time, and economy. Yet, these concerns vary depending upon where they are situated: in families, legal contexts, industry or science. They also play out differently across countries and cultures. This situated nature of computer game concerns is generally neglected. Not in this book: It gives a detailed mosaic of the complex and multiple everyday realities of computer game concerns in relation to children, as they are variably situated throughout society and across cultures.

Hidden from view, data centres process and store scientific data while requiring extensive energy and metal extraction. How can science become sustainable, as it depends heavily on these data infrastructures? The authors of this volume trouble cultures of scientific competition, challenge institutional habits, irritate server procurement and regulations, question funding procedures, and confront global supply chains. It is a witty and thought-provoking engagement with practical everyday challenges of enabling a university to respond to the planetary. With original line art and ethnographic texts, they offer a refreshing take on the challenges data-driven science faces in times of climate change.
