It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A.I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects-among remote and non-literate peoples around the globe and elsewhere. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting- edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten. In a scrupulously researched and captivating new book, Rebecca Lemov recounts the story of Kaplan's quest and brings to light an informative and disturbing chapter in the prehistory of Big Data. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Kaplan, Bert,|d1919-2006.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nr2002040934 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Psychology|xData processing|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010108777|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Psychology|xResearch|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85108467|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Dreams|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85039483 |xData processing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh99005487|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Sociology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85124200|xData processing|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005487|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Sociology|xResearch|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85124207|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Big data|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2012003227|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Psychology|xData processing.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1081463 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Psychology|xResearch.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1081506 650 7 Dreams.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1198490 650 7 Sociology|xData processing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1123888 650 7 Sociology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1123875 650 7 Sociology|xResearch.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1123909 650 7 Big data.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892965 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLemov, Rebecca.|tDatabase of dreams.
